<p>Hi all! I'll be attending UCLA this Fall, but I've never been in Los Angeles before. Is it fairly safe around the campus? Also, how far is the airport away from the university? I can't imagine it being walking distance... So, is there a way I can get there from teh campus easily? (I've never taken a taxi before, and I'm worried I'd have trouble getting home.)</p>
<p>There's the FlyAway shuttle..the stop is in Westwood, it's about a ten minute walk from the start of campus. It's $4 one way to the airport. </p>
<p>Then there's the Super Shuttle which you can schedule. I haven't taken it, but I'm pretty sure they can pick you up where you ask to be picked up, and it's more expensive.</p>
<p>The airport is around 20-25 minutes away from the LAX Airport. You can take the Supershuttle, Fly Away Express, or the taxi to get the school.</p>
<p>The taxi ride should be well over $50, probably $75. Supershuttle is slightly under $20 ($18, and $2 cheaper with coupon). Both take you door to door.</p>
<p>Thanks! Would the shuttle also take me back to the campus from the airport?</p>
<p>Sorry, I meant: If I used the FlyAway shuttle, would I be able to get from the airport to the university and vice versa?</p>
<p>yes. flyaway runs every half an hour between LAX and westwood.</p>
<p>Or you can be really really cheap.</p>
<p>Take the Culver City Bus #6 or the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus #3. Sure the terminal is at Ackerman, BUT ITS ONLY 25 CENTS. Just don't bring that much stuff. You can buy your blankets and stuff ehre.</p>
