I'm considering moving to California along with some other options, but I need some input from people that have lived there for a while. My plan, wherever I go, is to work and go to a community college until I establish residency, then transfer to a university to finish off my degree and go on to grad school. What are some cool areas to live in real close to a major university campus (UC, State, etc.) that aren't enormous amounts of money? Preferably southern, but if you know of a cool place in northern cali, feel free to post it up. Thanks guys.

 

We don't want you here.

 

there's no cool norcal place

x2!

 

That's ok, I'm not looking to socialize with you guys either Get out my thread now, thanks.

 

there is Solano Community College in northen cali. im not to big on where the CC's are. big schools that are around are Sac State, UC Davis , UC Berkeley, Chico aka the party, drink and smoke weed place and i think San Francisco might have a college.

 

Watts has some nice areas, or you could try Hawthorne or maybe Inglewood.

 

Or bakersfield college. I attend it. Not expensive and UCs love when u transfer from it

 

If you get some roomates, anyplace is relatively cheap.

 

Please stop posting in my thread.

Fonzi, where is bakersfield located? I'm less concerned about being close to the CC because I only plan to attend one while I establish residency. My grades are good enough to get into most of the UC's right now, I just don't want to ask my Dad to spend an extra 20k a year on my schooling just because I want to be in Cali

 

the bay area like san jose, san fran, etc. san jose state university is cheap and alot of community colleges around here too

 

if u go to UCR i live like 15-20minute from it and the Community college is like 7mins from me RCC
UCR is filled with Asians haha i didnt attend any of these schools but UCR is good i think

Riverside area that is

 

In the kern county area. The valley. 2 hours north or L.A.

 

you can move to one of these for cheap lots of land too

I would look into san bernardino county a lot of schools and good locations. Its in the middle of beaches mountains dessert everything

 

oxnard or santa ana =p

 

troof. Simi Valley isnt too pricey either, and its close to moorpark community college, which is one of the best in the valley for transferring to UCs

 

Cool thanks guys, I'm looking into these places. I'll probably be out there in March looking at places and I'll stop by a meet or something if there's one going on.

 

if your on a low budget the hood is for you ^_^
gotta pay to play.

 

I'm not on a low budget, I just don't want to pay over say ~600-750 a month on rent without amenities for now.

 

You'll need a roomate or 2 if you want to pay that much.

 

Just be like me and live in the hood. I think I'm the only white person in my complex and I'm only half white hahaha

 

that price range is hood prices.
800 gets you on a decent hood =)

 

I'm from the suburbs of detroit. I think my view of hood is different from your view of hood because the places i've seen for those prices aren't too bad.



this is hood to me. If that's what I would have to live in, **** that I'd live with my uncle Of course as soon as I establish residency I can spend more money on living. I might have to just get a roommate or two.

 

x2.

I go to San Jose State University. A couple community colleges within a couple miles of my school. SJSU is an awesome school too depending on what you're majoring on. Also lots of diversity.. tons of ppl.. and credibility. Also has grad school right here along w/ it. I got accepted to SDSU.. Sac State.. And Cal Poly SLO.. And the only one I considered going to over SJSU was Cal Poly but that was in the middle of nowhere and the major departments were both on the same level. Just my .02

Cheapest state school to afford as well


/non ******* comment of the day

 

Our hoods may not look like that, still doesn't change the fact that people get shot, stabbed, raped, and murdered in some areas.
