WELCOME!
We are incredibly excited to welcome you onto campus as an official member of the Trojan Family! Living in a Residential College is a unique experience where students get to meet people from across the United States and the world. You will learn to live, interact, and socialize together and create memories that soon prove that this is more than just a place to sleep—it is your new home for the year. Welcome to USC Residential Education!
We hope you are looking forward to your transition and excited about meeting and living among 442 of your peers. We know you’ll love the vibrant, proud and scholarly living-learning community Parkside residents have fostered over the years. Through offering you diverse programming opportunities and faculty and staff support, we’re confident that you’ll feel at home in no time! Find us on Instagram: @Parkside.AH
