Housing for Fall Students

For first-year students leaving home for the first time, living in a residence hall or suite-style building can provide the most welcoming transition to campus life.

Residence Halls

Residence halls offer the traditional college housing experience, with double-occupancy rooms and community bathrooms, plus a required meal plan.

Suites

Suites can accommodate up to eight residents, with four double-occupancy rooms and two bathrooms. Suites in Fluor Tower are clustered around a central living space.

USC Apartments

Apartments—units with one or two double-occupancy bedrooms and a full kitchen—enable students to lead a more independent lifestyle, with more space and privacy.

Special Interest Floors

USC housing is also enriched by special interest communities that bring students and faculty together to explore ideas, share meals, plan special programs and take advantage of the cultural resources of Los Angeles.

Floors represent interests ranging from health and fitness to the arts and humanities to culture and religion.



“Something great about Pardee…is the fact that we have an in-residence faculty member who lives with us on the fifth floor! She is a professor teaching in the Occupational Therapy department, and she puts on programs and activities for the Pardee residents as well. To me, the experience of living in a residence hall like Pardee is an experience that freshmen are not likely to forget.” Maheen Sahoo

“I live at Parkside Arts and Humanities Residential College on campus. I really enjoy its convenient location near Parkside Café and many of my engineering classes, the awesome events our Residential Advisors (RAs) plan for us—such as trips to get frozen yogurt and explore Downtown, as well as career workshops inside our own building” Grant Derderian
