<p>Hi ! </p>
<p>I'm a french student and I'll study in CSUN for fall 2014 and I'll be in LA from August 2014 to June 2015.
I am searching a roommate but I don't really know where : some people say me Westwood, Santa Monica are not so far from Northridge in car. </p>
<p>I need some advice from people who know the area :) </p>
<p>Thanks you ! </p>
<p>If you’re going to CSUN, Santa Monica/Westwood is NOT the place you want to live in; that would be a better option if you were going to UCLA. Whoever told you is incorrect, they must not know about LA traffic. Stay in the Northridge or Woodland Hills area. There are apartments across the street from the school and most of them are rented by students. </p>
