<p>In USC: as safe as most other large universities in large cities. I actually have heard about several incidents on campus. </p>
<p>around USC: Very little to worry about during the days, At night, might be dangerous if you lose common sense. Be either on a public transportation or on a car when you travel from outside into the campus. Do not ride your bicycle beyond Western and Adams and Figueroa and Adams. Do not walk to UV at night.(Most stores close before the sunset.) The campus is safe but the neighborhood is not.</p>
