I’ve commuted probably over 100 times on the Metrolink/Amtrak from Orange County over the past 4 years. It is perfectly safe to take the train to Union Station and then the USC tram from Union Station to campus and vice versa on the return trip, anyone who says otherwise obviously has never commuted. Even at night the USC campus is very safe and there are 100s of people who ride the tram to and from Union Station each day. Union Station has a very large security presence and there is almost no chance of crime happening from the point you get off the tram until you board the train.

That being said, I was a few stops before Irvine and even then its pretty tiring and in my opinion its pretty rough to commute every day.
