The USC University Park Campus is located just 2 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles, making it easy to access from several major freeways and the Expo Line trains. If you’re coming from the Harbor Freeway (I-110), take the Exposition Boulevard exit. At the end of the exit, you’ll see the USC University Park Campus on your right, just one block down. If you’re traveling on the Santa Monica Freeway (I-10), exit at Vermont Avenue and head south. Continue until you reach Jefferson Boulevard, which will take you right to the campus. Metro riders can use stops at Exposition Boulevard / Vermont, Expo Park / USC, and Jefferson / USC.
