Brief introduction of University of Southern California
1. Campus environment
Classic and solemn red brick house, with a fashionable heart hidden under the exterior, has a simple and concise decoration style. This red-themed Romanesque architectural design is a symbol of the University of Southern California. However, in this free campus, the buildings built by each department and each era have different shapes and temperament, just like many sets of disrupted Lego bricks.
Students who like architectural style have different departments, races and backgrounds. As we all know, the Institute of Technology is almost the home of technology in China and India. They live in the library for a week without saying a word.
2. Geographical location
The main campus of the University of Southern California is located in downtown Los Angeles, and the transportation is extremely convenient. Train, subway, bus and other public transportation systems are perfect, and it only takes more than ten minutes to reach Hollywood, where world-famous stars often haunt.
