<p>While at USC my friends and i stayed a few places 3 to miles from USC and my last 2 years near campus. I regret not staying near campus the first two years-faster and easier to get to campus and was able to use more of my spare time studying. Traffic around here and downtown can be very conjested. I also bought a dirt-cheap bike that no-body would steal. Oh I stayed at the Monte-Carlo Apartments- also had a few good parties with other super-cool USC tenants.
