PhD Onboarding Housing

The majority of the student’s live off campus, and there is a couple of students within the program that house together.  However, there is a choice to live on campus for graduate students, which can be seen at this website: https://housing.usc.edu/.  Please see the attached flyer if you are interested.

For those interested in living off campus, here is some words from a member in GASP:

“I am from the LA area originally, and have lived in a few places over the years. In general, the most common places for students to live (in no particular order) is on the “West Side” (areas like Culver City, MidCity, Santa Monica) which many people choose because of the convenient access to the “Expo Line” which is a major metro train that runs all the way from Santa Monica and drops you off right on campus. Many also live Downtown which is ~2 miles east of campus, also with convenient metro access (even a free bus from the USC building downtown that runs regularly!), and others live in Koreatown which is about 2 miles north of campus which tends to have more affordable rates (I lived there for two years and would be happy to recommend specific subsections of ktown).”

If you are interested in possibly living with another PhD student off-campus, you may contact me to send you any advertisements students who also have interest. Additionally, I can have a PhD student volunteer to connect with you if you need help with LA housing ideas.  Let me know.
