Not surprised that the practice developed at USC; mixing business and 
pleasure is the "California Style" style of engineering, like wearing 
ratty T-shirts and cargo shorts to the office, which also likely has 
foozball tables, a full bar, 55" video game screen/man cave and 
on-demand sushi and strippers, and all that.

Not much hardware design goes on in New England anymore but I'm 
definitely more a fan of the "New England"-style of wearing a shirt and 
tie to the office and leaving the centerfolds, video games, and 
generalized baby bullshit at the door.
