<p>Having lived in San Diego for most my life, I have a good feeling of whats up in that city. Sadly my knowledge of LA is based solely upon the three hour gang marathon on the histroy channel I saw yesterday. Im a transfer from UC Merced, and plan on visiting LA after I get out next week, but can any current students (or alum!) provide some contructive feedback as to what the major pros and cons of LA are? Thanks =]]</p>

<p>im pretty sure UCLA is very safe...and ur not going to randomly get shot by a gAngstA</p>

<p>haha, yeah I dont really fear for my life going to UCLA. But how are things off campus (IE bars for 21+, sporting events, traffic etc..)</p>

<p>i hear 405 is hell...everything else is good...UCLA is surround by the three B's Brentwood, Bellair, Beverly Hills</p>

<p>If you stay out of south central LA, you will be fine. Santa Monica and the west side of LA are very nice, and there is lots to do all along the Wilshire and Sunset corridors heading into Hollywood. (i.e. The Grove shopping center, Farmer's Market, Miracle Mile and the art museums) Downtown has some neat stuff as well, especially Disney Hall and the Music Center. The Griffith Observatory has a fantastic view at night, try to get up there if you can. Santa Monica pier is a fun place also.</p>

<p>i'm biased for LA but i think san diego is better for quality of life (really chill), LA is more interesting and more to do and more stressful</p>

<p>I went form san diego to UCLA.</p>

<p>San diego as a city is FAR SUPERIOR imo. It is "Americas Finest City" after all.</p>

<p>The traffic in LA can really ruin any good day.</p>

<p>But if your going to be living on campus or around campus i am sure you will enjoy it. I can not comment on that aspect of it b/c i lived sort of far and worked and was more of an adult student so i did not do any of those regular college things .</p>

<p>This is why I recommended that tourists stay away from South Central.<br>
