Favorite thing about USC Annenberg: From the beautiful buildings to the brilliant people, USC Annenberg is an incubator for the discussion and conception of grand ideas; an environment ripe for personal and academic discovery. The coffee cart is pretty cool, too.

Favorite thing about Los Angeles: The fact that it can be 80 degrees in December.
