USC hostels nearby?

[Swedental]

Hi everyone!

Visiting USC in LA in may, my question is if anyone of you here at this forum knows any hostels located quite near the dental school? Since we´re travelling on a tight budget = the cheaper the better. I would be very grateful for links etc....

We were allso reccomended the radisson, however that is impossible. Hostels is the only way for us to make it financially...

what i expect?
All i know is that there are quite a few hostels in LA around $20 a night. Im just wondering if there is any located somewhat near USC.

That should show all the hostels in LA. Use google maps to find the closest.

I suggest asking the same question here:

However, be aware of the fact that downtown LA can be a bit dodgy in some parts(I don't know the area around USC though), unless it has changed the last few years I wouldn't venture too far east or south from downtown. Basically know where and what you are picking.

Love the city otherwise though, but by all means, rent a car!

I do not know if there a lot of youth hostels near USC, but there are definitely many hostile youths (they are called gang members)......Sorry, I just had to get that one in.
