HOUSING
Housing is not included with registration for this course. However, as a convenience to students we offer the option of adding housing at a hostel approximately 20 minutes by car to our classroom building. Beds are limited and may sell out; they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can add a 2-night stay (Friday & Saturday) at the hostel in a shared room with 8-20 beds. Your stay includes a free light breakfast.
There will be a $50 administration fee for all housing refunds. Refunds only allowed up to 30 days prior to the weekend start date.

TRANSPORTATION TO CAMPUS
Public Transportation
LA’s public transportation is not as robust as many other cities. If you’re interested in taking the bus or train to get around, read this beginner’s guide to public transportation in Los Angeles and utilize Google Maps' convenient public transit option when calculating travel times. You may still need to rely on Uber or Lyft to complete your journeys.
Travel Between Airports & Campus
From Los Angeles International Airport - Take 405N to 10W and exit 1A for 4th Street.
