Spooky USC

40 Upvotes

Halloween is coming. What's the most haunting or unexplained thing you've experienced or heard here?

Every place has its legends. The dorm noises, the odd feelings in the libraries after hours, the desolate walkways.

Firsthand accounts, family stories, urban legends, and historical oddities are all welcome. Skeptics are welcome too; sometimes the best part is figuring out what really happened. Happy haunting. šŸŽƒ

FinancialAid USC saying they overpaid me in loan and now I owe like 6k in a couple weeks

18 Upvotes

I’m a grad student on the grad plus loan, so basically USC is saying that when they disbursed my loans back in August, they disbursed 10 credits worth of loans but they just found out I’m in 8 units. The thing is, I’ve always been in 8. I never dropped units. Also, the money for loans is not something i see. That gets paid automatically to the school, and my refund is for my ā€œother costsā€ in the cost of attendance breakdown such as housing, food, transportation, books, etc.

Not this is where I’m confused. They want me to repay the 6k extra loans from the refund amount but when I looked at my estimated cost of attendance, my refund amount is the same as those other costs (housing, dining, transportation, etc). Paying back the 6k would then leave me with not enough of those things and they want the 6k by next billing period. Every person on the phone I talk to says the same thing that I essentially just need to pay it back, but I feel like they are the ones who messed up and now I am unprepared for this.

Anyone ever deal with this?

News Shredding the cello at your own investiture is such a flex

66 Upvotes

Imagine the next prez practicing and doing research for their own investiture so they watch the one from this year. They see Prez Kim getting up from his seat, walking over to the musicians' podium, shredding the cello, and then sitting back down at his seat until it's his turn to do a speech. How can you top that?

Academic How does signing up for graduate courses work

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I was recently admitted to a master’s program at USC. My undergraduate degree was in a different major, but I’ve been self-studying the prerequisite material for the graduate courses I want to take.

Does the registration system strictly block you from enrolling in classes if you haven't taken the formal prerequisites, or is it more flexible? Has anyone else navigated a similar situation?

Clubs | Campus Life Where are the metalheads at?

9 Upvotes

I’m a 2nd year business student. Used to play in a hard rock/metal band, but haven’t really found the time to seriously gig again, and I won’t (life’s busy yo). I don’t know many people in the Thornton school, and all my friends don’t like metal, so where are yall at? For example, if I say Iron Maiden, Metallica, Periphery, Avenged Sevenfold, and Death, who vibes?

If you don’t listen to metal, who are your most played artists that I should listen to? Doesn’t matter the genre. I’m taking suggestions from everyone, so give me like 3 artists, and I’ll add them to my list. I literally don’t know who is popular today lol.

News Volleyball coach (Brad Keller)

18 Upvotes

Does anyone know what the deal is??? I always thought Brad was adored by his team, nothing seemed sus. But obviously early this month the social posts by the official team accounts were odd, as were the amount of comments and shares, likes etc (esp on Oct 8) w/new coaches despite the announcements 5th and how he wasn’t at games since Illinois.

Does anyone know anything? Coach Brad brought the team so far since he started. It seems like it’s not just a simple personal leave of absence but something final…the posts and hiring, likes/comments don’t make sense otherwise. I hope he’s alright and I really hope he wasn’t fired for performance when he’s done so well in past years

My roommate and I are looking for an apartment near usc max 10-15 minutes walking distance with amenities like air conditioning, kitchen, laundry, etc. Ideally, I'd like the rent to be around 500-800 per person. I'm ok with having other suite mates as well. Do you guys have any advice for how to look for a good place or any places already available?
