Alumni Spotlight

“When I went to visit other schools, right when I walked in, I felt the competitiveness from students. Then, I came and visited here, and right off the bat someone noticed I looked lost, offered me help, and gave me a tour around the school. It was so different from all the other schools. It was such a welcoming feeling.”

“I eventually want to become a family court judge. I was not aware of any law schools back home with a concentration in children and family law, so when I learned that USC offered it I was hooked,” Kim said.
