THE WEEKLY FRAME IV — WEEK 2

Extravagance

Ooh la la! Although midterms might not feel particularly lavish, there is a decadent side of campus to be explored, where refined alumni and faculty regale and relax. The Town and Gown Ballroom frequently hosts gatherings and galas. Heritage Hall honors the athletes and coaches who bring the school pride, and the courtyard at the School of Cinematic Arts celebrates the Hollywood stars who founded the program. From glowing chandeliers to shimmering statues, the finer side of campus is to be enjoyed by all.

Among the glitz and glamour, the Daily Trojan’s Fall 2025 photo section presents “The Weekly Frame IV.” Staff photographers Bryce Dechert and Kiyomi Miura explored the decadence of USC.
