<p>does anyone know if there is a walgreens or some sort of convenience store around campus?</p>
<p>There's a supermarket in University Village, and I think also a beauty products store in there too. For actual pharmaceuticals, most use the USC Pharmacy, attached to Commons.</p>
<p>what do you need eeyore?</p>
<p>walgreens by car on Wilshire...24 hrs. along w/Rite Aid, 7 Eleven, Ralphs, etc. around that area</p>
<p>Here is a thread from several weeks ago that lists lots of local stores:</p>
<p>um...does anyone know where the nearest music instrument store is? the closest i heard was a Guitar Center in Hollywood. i ask because i'm screwed if i break a guitar string, and i'm not about to pay $10+ at the bookstore for them...</p>
<p>I don't know of any large music stores in the area, but you might want to buy strings online. I agree, those strings at the bookstore are a big rip-off. The big stores seem to be in the Hollywood area, but there are a few independent stores. Still far away though. <a href="http://local.google.com/local?f=l&hl=en&q=guitar&near=90007&ie=UTF8&ll=34.029474,-118.287048&spn=0.102003,0.181618&om=1%5B/url%5D">http://local.google.com/local?f=l&hl=en&q=guitar&near=90007&ie=UTF8&ll=34.029474,-118.287048&spn=0.102003,0.181618&om=1</a></p>
<p>There is a Dollar Store at University Village, at McClintock & Jefferson?, where the BofAm is. It sells lots of small things at good prices. There's also a Staples & Office Depot on Figuroa as you head toward the financial district, within a mile or two of campus. We were able to pick up some stuff for son's dorm there--fan, lamp, milk crate, paper, mouse, etc.
I've heard that Ralphs near campus will shuttle students back to USC campus free if they buy at least $20 worth of things from them.</p>
