<p>"Is your son’s housing within walking distance to the school ?
That is “safe’ walking distance?”
Yup, but he bikes as do most kids who live off campus[ unless they take the USC shuttle]</p>
<p>"$700/mo. is much better than we had found, but then again, we looked at housing that was only a few blocks away from the campus because he won’t have car.
Without a car however, the options for housing are slimmer. "
NO, they really arent, not near campus.</p>
<p>There are many, many older charming, victorian era houses as well as dozens of appts just north of campus[ excluding the frats north west of campus] that are filled with USC students. All are on the USC shuttle route. Son never even considered getting an appt just for himself or to share with only 1 other student. Too expensive and he wanted to live with a larger group of friends. And he has had a car all 4 years.</p>
