<p>We have to fly to LA & so can bring only so much stuff in checked luggage. I'm coming down the day before move-in & renting a car and I need to find places within a reasonable distance from USC to buy stuff that won't fit well into checked bags or is just too heavy or stupid to bring on a plane: a printer, ink and printing paper, laundry detergent, shampoo, sunscreen, underbed storage containers, maybe a pillow, a fan, electric tea kettle, etc. Is there an Office Depot/Best Buy & a Bed, Bath & Beyond kind of place nearby? With limited time, we don't want to have to spend too much time driving if possible.</p>
<p>Found a Target in driving distance to campus. :</p>

<p>There is also a Radio Shack in University Village</p>
<p>There is an office depot up at Figueroa & 20th.</p>
<p>If you want to avoid renting a car, move-in day and a day or two after there is usually a (free) USC shuttle to Target so students can buy stuff.</p>
<p>Hint, however, Target Culver City is usually sold out of everything good for dorms a few days into move in week, so don’t dawdle. It might be better to go to a Target further away.</p>
<p>You could also order online and have it delivered to USC. Just be VERY sure it does not arrive at USC before move-in day - they will NOT accept packages before move-in day.</p>
