University of Southern California
Overview
Founded in 1880, USC's University Park Campus is renowned for its Romanesque Revival brick architecture, palm-lined walkways, and manicured quads directly across from Exposition Park. Beyond its academic reputation, the campus's classic collegiate look has made it one of Hollywood's most reused stand-in locations, frequently doubling for other universities on screen. Visitors can stroll the open campus grounds or join a free guided walking tour run by student ambassadors.
