Which state is USC located in?

Quick question, I've seen different people talking about USC and I'm confused about which state it's in, since there are a few universities with similar names. Can someone clarify this for me? Thanks a lot!

USC usually refers to the University of Southern California, which is located in Los Angeles, California. It's a private research university known for its strong programs in business, film, engineering, and various other fields. However, there is also a University of South Carolina, located in Columbia, South Carolina. To avoid confusion, make sure you specify "University of Southern California" or "University of South Carolina" when discussing or referencing either institution.
