Favorite thing about USC Annenberg:  It is truly hard to pick just one favorite thing – between the incredible USC Annenberg faculty and staff, the wondrous networking opportunities available for students, and the state-of-the-art learning facilities, USC Annenberg truly culminates a learning environment where students and faculty can work collaboratively to achieve lasting, global change.

Favorite thing about Los Angeles: As someone who enjoys staying active and playing outside in the warm, Southern California sunshine, it is always easy to find tons of fun, free and low-cost activities to keep a busy bee like myself entertained!
