<p>I know that USC students often get great internships in Los Angeles but for people out of state, what cheap transportation near campus can be used to get there? I have only been to Los Angeles once in my life so if theres an obvious answer don't laugh at me.</p>
<p>you can stay in a dorm and take the university tram to the keck school of medicine (assuming u want to do the keck internship) for free.</p>
<p>i was thinking more of an internship in the field of business</p>
<p>Although public transportation is not LA's best feature, many students have business internships in Downtown LA - which is only a 5 minute drive away. There is regular bus service from the University Park area to the downtown area.</p>
<p>If your internship is in West LA, or further away, you will really need a car.</p>
<p>i dont know how reliable a source this is but i saw on the show 24 there is a subway like system in LA, is there anything like that by USC?</p>
<p>There is indeed a moderate subway system in Los Angeles, but unfortunately there are no stops near USC. </p>

<p>One easy way to get to the subway is taking the free USC shuttle to Union Station downtown.</p>
<p>The city bus system is extensive and numerous bus routes go right by campus. It is very easy to get downtown, though destinations further away may require a lot of time and bus transfers.</p>
<p>The DASH (which has stops around the perimeter of campus) takes you to downtown LA. It costs a quarter and comes about every 10-15 minutes.</p>
<p>where are all the good communication/journalism internships located?</p>
<p>okay, well at least usc has SOME kind of public transportation. Atlanta likes to PRETEND it does, but marta is a joke!</p>
