Yes. You can visit the campus.

Hotel Angeleno or the Beverly Hilton. There is also a Holiday Inn Express nearby in West L.A. There is no ideal public transit between USC & UCLA, with the "best option" being city buses. With that in mind, it would be better to rent a car while in L.A. or use Lyft/Uber. Both universities are extremely difficult to get into, with UCLA being more difficult academically. USC will set you, or your son, back at least $200K without scholarships or grants, NOT including room and board (housing & meal plan). Downtown L.A., close to USC, has many more hotel options.

hola, no se paga por entrar sino por el parking (estacionamiento) y lo que puedes visitar es todo el campus, ingresar a las escuelas por ej, yo entre a la de leyes porque soy abogada y con mi hija ingresamos tambien a la de fisica. No hay que hacer ninguna reserva previa. Yo utilice auto rentado entonces ingrese con el auto. Que pasen bien !!

Why not take the Wiltshire Boulevard bus from downtown to Westwood? It’s more direct and does not require a transfer.

Olá Fabio O campus da UCLA fica no bairro Westwood em LA, entre as ruas Hilgard, Le Conte, Gayley e Sunset blvd. Parece uma grande praça, sem cercas e muros (não em toda a extensão). Para visitar o campu vc não precisa agendar... a menos que queira visitar algum departamento específico. Pode inclusive parar nas lojas (tem uma gigante próximo à estátua do urso Bruin) e comprar cadernos, pastas, roupas e tudo que puder imaginar com o símbolo da universidade. A visita vale muito a pena. Prédios antigos contrastando com construções novas, praças maravilhosas; além de estar num bairro super charmoso e delicioso de andar a pé. Inclusive, estacionar nas redondezas é um transtorno... a menos que pare no Ralph’s da Le Conte ou que esteja disposto a gastar com estacionamento. O campus é enorme. Se quiser andar por tudo, precisa deixar um dia para isso. Aproveite bastante!!! (Aiii que saudades de lá!!!!)

There is parking on Campus. Proceed to main entrance and pull to attendant station....explain you are there for a tour or campus visit. They will give you directions to parking garage. You will pay the parking fee to attendant...I believe it was only 3-5 dollars...

There is parking. A kiosk at the driveway guides you. I honestly cannot remember if we paid to park there( we were visiting several places & they all start to mesh...).

Do not go after classes are over...we went last week of April, while classes were finishing and orienting new students was taking place......call in advance!

Yes, I attended a conference there and the ground and a few buildings were open for public. The main mall was quite busy. Big museums were also open for public.
