Although SMC does not offer lodging, the college does recommend starting your housing search close to a bus, train, or bike path so you don’t need to drive. Los Angeles is famous for its traffic so finding housing that does not require you to drive can make a big difference in your experience at SMC. Metro’s "E" train runs from downtown LA to the beach in 47 minutes and has stops with easy access to all SMC’s campuses, the GoPass gives you unlimited rides on Metro, Big Blue Bus and 18 other transit agencies around LA, and a network of safe bike paths feed into all of our campuses, so there is no need to drive a car if you the right place to live.
This map was created to help you start your housing search in areas that are a close walk to a station or are near a safe bike path.
Bikes are allowed on the Expo line and all buses have front racks that hold 2 or 3 bikes.
