I am going to visit the University of Southern California (USC) in a few weeks. I'll fly into LAX airport at night around 9-10pm. What is the best way to get to the school from the airport? What options do I have? And how much will they cost roughly? Thank you very much.

OK...You can actually go through some of the toughest neighborhoods in L.A. late at night with luggage on a convoluted bus and subway route, if you want or----stay safe and have a friend meet you...no friend who knows L.A.will let you take that trip...or you can take a more expensive cab or shuttle ride....
LAX to USC---"you can't get there from here"

I see others are putting down the transit system, but I think you would be fine taking that option. It all comes down to route choice. The following routing would surely work just fine. There is a direct Flyaway bus that picks up right in front of the airline terminals and runs non-stop to Downtown LA for only $3.50 and will drop you in a safe well lighted place, Union Station. From there an easy connection can be made to MTA line #446 (additional .75 cents night fare) which travels the short distance up to USC along Figueroa Street. There is another route #42 bus that can be a bit unsafe between the airport area and USC at night due to the areas it passes through but traveling via the Flyaway bus is quite safe.

that late at night I would look into Super Shuttle
yes there is a transit option (just two buses but I wounldt
advise unless you really want to save money it would
$1.25
super shuttle should run more then $25.00
a taxi probably would cost more plus there a surcharge all
trips departing lax via Taxi of $2.50
now if you chose the transit option
first you board a LOT C bus take to the city bus terminal
then board a Line 42, which will take right past USC

There are some "ghetto" parts alongside the way, yet you're on the constrained-access highway for cryin' out loud. you actually favor to lose the stereotype you've of l. a.. that's no longer THAT undesirable, even in "ghetto" parts. Heck, i'm a white guy, and that i have pushed by Compton, Watts, and South l. a.. (BTW, maximum of Inglewood is superb). Like 'canines suggested, the most important issue will be navigating the freeways and coping with site visitors. if you're doing that in the morning, settle in for a lengthy gradual stress.

The SAFEST way is to take a taxi. You do NOT want to be an unaccompanied female w/ luggage traveling at night through some of the worst crime areas on the public transit system. You would be a prime target. You don't want to become "news at 11:00"
PS: Your boyfriend is a total jerk, and a "mama's" boy. Dump him ASAP, and find a guy that will respect you, and please don't start any of that whiny "but I love him" crap. He's using you and you know it. You'll be better off with out him

Pay for a cab (or at least a shuttle); you don't want to take the public lines/buses to USC at night (which you could do for cheaper). You'll pay more for the cab/shuttle (20-40), but it's the safer option.
