There were emergency phones practically every few steps around campus. I don't see how a person wouldn't be able to reach one if they needed. [View Full Report]

Meh. They convinced me with their talk about how they protect their students or whatever, but the surrounding area is a little ... sketchy. [View Full Report]

Spiked gates surround the campus, and after that, security checkpoints at all entrances. The quad was surrounded by gated checkpoints as well. [View Full Report]

Security has to be good because the school is in downtown LA. The campus seemed safe. Campus police patrol in a radius of 5 miles. [View Full Report]

The campus is guarded 24/7 by Campus Security and the campus is surrounded on all sides by a wall; entrances have security booths and entering people must check in. [View Full Report]

I read somewhere that the USC campus is statistically safer than Disneyland. I believe it. I felt very safe on this campus. [View Full Report]

There is a USC police that patrol 2 miles around the campus. There are no streets running through the campus. The impression I got was that it was a very safe within the walls. [View Full Report]
