<p>For students with no cars, here it is</p>
<p>[Walk</a> Score - Helping homebuyers, renters, and real estate agents find houses and apartments in great neighborhoods.](<a href=“Get your Walk Score”>Get your Walk Score)</p>
<p>Indeed, the area around USC is quite walkable and the campus is by no means isolated. However, the “walkability” score just seems to be a compilation of the number of businesses and attractions within a given area. What it doesn’t take into account is safety. </p>
<p>If one were to make a nighttime version of that map, I would knock out anything that isn’t on campus or immediately adjacent. The majority of robberies and assaults seem to happen off campus, and walking around at night alone is generally a bad idea.</p>
<p>I would not walk around anywhere late at night. I hope people do use some common sense. I even read people get assaulted for walking even in some safe neighborhoods that are not in LA. Bad things tend to be lurking in the dark.</p>
<p>Also if you need to go somewhere at night within the 3 miles radius you can call campus cruizer right?</p>
<p>Campus Cruiser has been plagued by problems in recent years and definitely isn’t the fastest way to get somewhere. On heavy nights (Thursday, Friday, etc), expect waits of over an hour before the car shows up. </p>
<p>Things get backed up because some people get tired of waiting and set off on their own. The cruiser shows up and if no one is there, they still have to wait like five minutes before they can proceed to the next call. I think there was a Daily Trojan article about a shortage of dispatchers and drivers as well. </p>
<p>Drivers also won’t take you shopping or chauffeur you from location to location. It’s a very limited service in many regards. I’ve taken to riding my bike (rather briskly) along well-traveled streets to get around at night.</p>
<p>If you HAVE to travel at night, go in a group. Most of the DPS reports of students getting robbed are of students who where traveling alone.</p>
