Julian, Casey, and Vernon
Name: Julian Bataclan (I go by Jules from some people)
Hometown: Cincinnati, OH
High School: Anderson High School
Year: Junior
Major: Industrial and Systems Engineering
Interests: Music production, Playing piano, Karaoke, Football (especially Trojan football)

Q: Why did you select to go to USC?
J: It was the summer after my junior year and I had no idea where I wanted to go to college. I knew I wanted to go to college in California and I wanted to try a new place since a lot of my father’s side of my family reside in the Bay Area. I visited USC and I just liked the whole vibe and atmosphere as soon as I got here. So I applied to USC later that year and I was accepted at the end of March 2005.
Q: What exactly is the meaning behind your name?
J: Julian is derived “from the same root as Julius and thus ultimately shares the Latin element related to the meaning ’sky,’ as the name Jove and Jupiter.” (courtesy of wikipedia.org)
Q: Give us a glimpse of your family, do you have siblings? Pets?
J: I have a mom and a dad, and a younger sister. Parents did not want to have pets.
Q: Which famous personality do you think you most closely resemble?
J: I like to consider myself as the Filipino version of Pharrell.

Year: Sophomore

I selected to go to USC because I get free tuition. I am just really lucky to go to such a great school and not have to pay for classes. I also like how close it is from my home so I could always visit my family whenever I want to.
The meaning of my name is Place of alders. It is of Norse origin.
I have a mother and father and a younger brother who is 16 years old right now.
When I grow out my hair people either say I look like Bruce Lee, or Chong Li from Bloodsport.
Two Truths and one lie:
1. I was homecoming king of my high school
2. I saw Ron Howard at basketball gym
3. I have gone sky diving
