<p>I know some people live in culver city, which is about 15-20 minutes away, but mostly to save money more than anything else. Downtown LA is also about 15 minutes away, but it’s expensive and I wouldn’t live there - plus the traffic between downtown and USC can get really bad certain times of day.</p>
<p>Further away is Santa Monica, El Segundo, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, which are nearer the ocean and nicer…but can be more $$$ and are further than 15 mins from campus.</p>
