Hub LA Coliseum offers individual leases by the bed. Each resident signs for their own bedroom space and monthly installment instead of signing one shared lease for the entire apartment.
That matters in student housing because roommates often have different majors, schedules, and payment responsibilities. With an individual lease, your student’s responsibility stays tied to their assigned space.
Why this structure works for student households
- Your student is responsible for their own payments only.
- Monthly installments are easier to discuss and plan for in advance.
- Students have the option to live with friends or use roommate matching with limited financial risk.
- Lease responsibilities stay clear even in a shared apartment.
- The setup gives students practice managing deadlines, payments, communication, and apartment care.
Parents should review the lease terms, guarantor requirements, payment schedule, and renewal timeline with their student before signing.

What Families Should Budget For
The monthly installments are only one part of the full housing budget. Before signing, families should look at the total cost of living at Hub LA Coliseum and decide who is responsible for each category.
Families should plan for:
- Monthly installment payments
- Required fees, including a one-time application fee, monthly valet trash fee, monthly Conservice fee, and monthly tech fee
- Renter’s insurance
- Assigned parking prices
- Groceries and household supplies
- Toiletries, laundry items, and cleaning products
- School materials and personal expenses
- Optional apartment upgrades, where available
Hub+ VIP and Hub+ Mansion upgrades include added features in select units, such as upgraded finishes, added technology, private outdoor terrace space, or a private hot tub, depending on the specific upgrade. Families should review the exact apartment, rate, and upgrade package before signing.
A good student apartment has to do more than give students a place to sleep. It has to handle ordinary college life: studying between classes, working out before a long day, meeting people outside a classroom, cooking a quick meal, doing laundry, taking calls from home, and finding a place to reset after campus gets crowded. Hub LA Coliseum keeps those pieces close to home.
Study and work spaces
Students have access to several places for coursework, group projects, printing, online meetings, and focused work.
Academic features include:
- Executive business area with Macs, PCs, and printers
- Group study rooms
- Private study rooms
- Outdoor private study terrace
- Clubroom with lounge space
- Free high-speed Wi-Fi
For USC students balancing lectures, labs, club meetings, internships, and exams, having these study spaces and resources at home gives them another option beyond campus libraries and coffee shops.
Fitness and wellness spaces
Students also have places to work out and take breaks without leaving the property.
Fitness and wellness amenities include:
- Fitness center with free weights
- Squat racks
- Exercise bikes
- Functional training equipment
- Yoga room
- Sauna
- Fitness classes
These amenities give students practical ways to move, decompress, and build healthy routines around their class schedule.
Rooftop and social spaces
One of the strongest parts of Hub LA Coliseum is its rooftop experience. Students have access to a rooftop sundeck, swimming pool, built-in seating, outdoor lounge areas, BBQ area, and views across Los Angeles. The rooftop gives residents a place to spend time with roommates, watch the city, take a break from coursework, or enjoy the Southern California weather without planning a full trip across town.
Resident events and local connection
Hub LA Coliseum hosts resident events throughout the year, including local brand collaborations, event sponsorships, and pop-up shops. These events give students approachable ways to meet neighbors and feel more connected to the community around them.
This can be especially valuable for students who are still finding their people. Some build friendships through classes, clubs, or roommates, while others connect through smaller everyday interactions where they live.
A furnished apartment changes the move-in conversation. Instead of planning around furniture deliveries, rented trucks, and the logistics of setting up an empty apartment in Los Angeles, families can focus on the items their student will actually use every day.
Hub LA Coliseum already includes the major furniture pieces, so packing should stay practical: bedding, towels, cookware, cleaning supplies, school materials, clothing, toiletries, and a few personal items that make the space feel familiar. The goal is not to bring everything from home. It is to help your student arrive with enough to settle in, get organized, and start the year without unnecessary clutter.
Before move-in
Families should prepare:
- Bedding and pillows
- Towels and toiletries
- Laundry basket and detergent
- Cookware, dishes, and utensils
- Basic cleaning supplies
- School supplies and chargers
- Personal décor
- Clothes for class, internships, workouts, and LA weather
- Important documents
- Any medicine or personal care items your student uses regularly
Roommates should discuss purchasing shared items before move-in. Kitchen tools, paper products, small appliances, cleaning supplies, and decorations are easier to manage when everyone coordinates ahead of time.
On move-in day
Students should walk through the apartment when they arrive and confirm that major items are in place, including furniture, appliances, and keys. Anything missing, damaged, or not working as expected should be reported to the on-site team promptly. The first unpacking priorities should be simple: make the bed, set up toiletries, plug in chargers, organize class materials, and put away a few basic kitchen items.
During the first week
The first week is when students should learn the building. They should find the study rooms, fitness center, rooftop, package area, bike storage, parking area, and leasing office. They should also check how resident messages are sent, where maintenance requests go, how to check their mail, and how payments are handled. This is also a good time for parents and students to talk through apartment responsibilities, including cleaning, laundry, groceries, guests, roommate expectations, and when to ask for help.
Hub LA Coliseum’s location is one of its biggest advantages for USC students. The property is an 8-minute walk from the University of Southern California, with nearby access to Doheny Memorial Library, Leavey Library, the Ronald Tutor Campus Center, Exposition Park, and the Coliseum area.
Walking to campus
For students who want housing near USC, walkability matters. Being close to campus helps with early classes, library time, club meetings, office hours, and quick trips back to the apartment between commitments.
The area around USC is active, especially around football games, events at the Coliseum, museum visits, and peak class times. Students should learn their usual routes early and pay attention to event schedules that change traffic and sidewalk activity.
USC Village and everyday errands
USC Village is a short drive from Hub LA Coliseum and gives students access to dining, groceries, coffee, and everyday errands near campus. Students also have nearby access to Exposition Park, the California Science Center, the Natural History Museum, and the broader Figueroa corridor. This location gives students a very Los Angeles version of college life: campus on one side, cultural landmarks nearby, and the rest of the city reachable by car, rideshare, bike, bus, or Metro.
Parking, bikes, rideshare, and transit
Assigned parking is available for an additional monthly cost. Families should confirm availability, pricing, and eligibility before signing.
Covered bike storage is also available on-site for students who bring a bike. Students also use rideshare, USC transportation resources, Metro, and personal vehicles, depending on their schedule and destination.
Parents should talk with students about transportation plans for:
- Class days
- Evening study sessions
- Internships
- Errand runs
- Game day traffic
Off-campus housing is one of the first places where students can learn to handle adult responsibilities. Payments, roommate conversations, maintenance requests, cleaning, groceries, and lease questions all become part of their week. At Hub LA Coliseum, students should generally be the primary contact for routine housing matters.
Students should handle:
- Reading community emails and portal messages
- Submitting maintenance requests
- Tracking installment due dates
- Asking lease questions before deadlines
- Communicating with roommates
- Following move-in and move-out instructions
- Keeping parents informed when something needs discussion
Parents still play an important role. The most helpful approach is to prepare students before problems come up.
Families should discuss:
- Who pays each housing cost
- How payment reminders are tracked
- When parents need to be contacted
- How maintenance issues should be reported
- What to do if a roommate concern comes up
- How often to check in during the first month
- What renewal or move-out decisions require family input
For account-specific information, students usually need to participate in the conversation or give permission before details are shared with a parent or guardian.
