The University of Southern California, located in the heart of Los Angeles, is one of the world’s leading private research universities.  Los Angeles is a global center for arts, technology and international business.  The greater Los Angeles area is the second-largest urban region in the United States containing about 13 million people.  The USC campus is about 1 mile from Korea town, 2 miles to Little Tokyo and Chinatown, and a quick subway ride to Santa Monica beach.  The weather in Los Angeles is mild all year and in June, the average low is 57°F and the average high is 78°F. The campus is conveniently located next to many forms of public transportation making it very easy to visit.
