New North Residential College Dorm Reviews at USC

New North is the most social and fun dorm at USC. The location is the best and right next to a dining hall. There is no AC in the dorm. The staff is very friendly and you feel secured there! Communal bathrooms and showers.

It was a very social dorm, and I got to meet a lot of really great people who I am still friends with! It is definitely more of a party and pre-Greek life dorm, but even as a more introverted-leaning person, I still had a wonderful time. I would not trade my experience for anything else. It can be good to go outside of your comfort zone!

It is an excellent freshman dorm experience, except the bathrooms are communal and nasty. There is no A/C, but it is in the middle of everything. I definitely recommend it if you are social and like to go out!

I loved living at New North, I felt really safe there and overall, the rooms were clean and it was nice living within the gate part of campus. I think that as a new student this is somewhere you should consider living. Plenty of storage and a great place to meet people. Overall, no horror stories or complaints!

New North was a blast, and I describe it that way deliberately. The dorm, true to its reputation, is the center of a lot of social activity, and can be really fun. That being said, studying can be difficult when you need to set aside time that is social time for everyone else.

My experience was amazing! The location of New North was near lots of my classes, and I met my closest friends while living there throughout my freshman year. I highly recommend it to any incoming Trojans!

Living in New North your freshman year gives you the best social experience at USC, but you have to be willing to sacrifice AC and space and it is overall pretty gross. Still, the friends I made were worth it.

I love my experience because I love all the staff ad they treat you like a family. Also, I love that I feel safe and cared about by the residents because this is a new experience for me and this is my first time on a college campus. I feel at home when I'm on campus.

It was the classic college dorm experience, it was SO fun, definitely loud and messy, but worth it if you want a social experience! If you want something clean and quiet, this dorm is definitely not for you then.

Location wise it is perfect! Right next to the dining halls and very close to the library and classes. Definitely matches the greek life stereotype though, so if you want a more friendly but normal vibe, I'd recommend Pardee..
