communtity college for acting?

<p>I am so stressed about college right now since I'm a senior. I know that i want to do theatre: acting, directing, producing and everything to do with it. My passion is to be on stage or behind the camera but i've always loved every aspect of it. No, I'm not one of those people who wants to be famous and wants to be a star, I just want to be an artist. I know that New York is the place to be, but i have never been very fond of the city. I have always been a beach girl, i love the outdoors and I love the warm weather. I know I want to be in Los Angeles. I've been thinking a lot about studying theatre at a community college and doing other projects on the side. It's not that I don't want to commit to a 4 year college, but it is so expensive, especially being an international student who can't get a scholarship for freshman year. Is community college a bad idea? I was thinking santa monica college. And does anybody have any reasonable housing ideas?</p>
