On-Site Professional Staff
Our friendly staff always provides an open door and open mind for residents to voice questions, opinions, concerns, or requests. You can speak with someone from our management team 7 days a week about anything concerning your experience at Lorenzo. Whether you are having trouble with your roommates, the community, the building or you just want to make a suggestion, our management team is ready to listen. Our maintenance staff will respond to your student's maintenance issues quickly and professionally. Lorenzo offers 24 hour emergency maintenance as well so that your student's comfort is not affected. When the leasing office closes, we have on site courtesy officers that patrol the property through the night. We are always in pursuit of continuing to be the premier off-campus student housing destination.
Roommate Matching
If your student does not have a roommate in mind, we can find them one! We will have them fill out a Roommate Matching sheet so we know what they are looking for in a roommate. During the summer, we will spend weeks looking at these preferences and matching them up with the best roommate we can find!
Fully Furnished
Lorenzo is a fully-furnished community, saving you money! Each student will have a bed, large desk and chair, and a chest of drawers in their bedroom. In the living area they will have a comfortable sofa, oversized chair, coffee table, end table, entertainment center, a dining room table with chairs and barstools in the kitchen. Each unit also comes supplied with a full size washer, dryer and furnished balcony.
On-Premise Dining
Lorenzo offers the convenience and safety of on-premise dining at Central Kitchen. Students enjoy the convenience of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in the comfort of the Lorenzo community. Students can order online and Central Kitchen delivers. Parents who purchase dining cards will have peace of mind of knowing their funds allocated for food will actually be spent on students' meals and that their students are dining inside our security building or their apartment. Central Kitchen is currently offering Dining Plans with savings of up to $450! Dining cards can be purchased for any amount and make great gifts! Central Kitchen offers delicious California-style dining and meals on-the-go and caters to the needs of the busy student lifestyle, providing friendly and speedy service.

Resident Events to Keep Students Involved
While the main focus of your student's college career will be about graduating and getting a fulfilling job, they also need to have fun along the way. At Lorenzo, your student will create life-long relationships and connections that will make them even more successful. Our Community Assistant staff plans weekly resident events to get them involved. These events range from pizza parties to karaoke nights and breakfast at the lounge to study nights. We will also keep our residents connected to events going on at USC and the surrounding community so they don't miss anything!
We want your student to succeed, and that's why we thought of them while designing Lorenzo as a Living-Learning environment!
