It's expensive....But It's wonderful!

If you are not particularly fond of driving, don't move there. If you don't like ridiculously high prices for gas, housing, etc, don't move there. If you don't like diversity, don't move there. If you have panic attacks from just getting lost, don't move there. Los Angeles is HUGE. If you don't like protesters, don't move there. If you love winter or four seasons, don't move there. If you happen to go there, have a very open mind. Los Angeles isn't just the ocean, palm trees or Malibu.

I agree with what most people said already, but I'm wondering how you will support yourself out here while going to school. If you don't have a parent or relative, it's almost impossible. Things are VERY expensive. here.

It sucks..people here tend to be very fake..superficial..traffic sucks..food here sucks..no culture..very self absorbed people..no sense of belonging to a community..noone cares about you..just themselves..

No center, true. Traffic. Expensive. Don't venture into wrong cities. No small town feel AT ALL. Everything is spread out but I think that's why we like it. No one goes to the REAL downtown for much of anything. Nothing there but offices. If you can handle lines, traffic, high prices, driving EVERYWHERE to do ANYTHING, aggressive and mostly superficial people, then come on over. It's big, so be prepared to get really familiar with our complex freeway system. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else and I'm sure people who come from out of the area couldn't imagine living here.

Make a mental.note...if you are going to be a sound Engineer, this is a good place to do it....Note to self --no matter what you try there will ALWAYS be nay-sayers....

SoCal is addictive, once you have lived here you may find it hard or even impossible to live anywhere else. The weather is awesome year-round, and you're within 1-2 hours drive from surfing, skiing, wine country, desert, beaches, rolling hills, etc. etc. If you want to be a sound engineer there is no better city to live in - this is where entertainment happens. It can be hard at first to meet people and make friends, but once you have that network established your career will be set.

you will have to pay a visit there and spend a little time if you can and see what goes on then you will have a vivid idea of the place.

nice if you have a good car and lots of money. can be a nightmare if you don't.

if you have an open mind, enjoy diversity in every facet, driving like a formula 1 driver on the highway, warm weather, and numerous different experiences this is your place. you also have to deal with the line game at clubs, the cost of living, crawling traffic, and lots of places that really let you know your station in life compared to people with more money than you'd ever imagine. if it's your dream come here, i did as well, i'm happy i did b/c i know i tried, which is better than never knowing.

I love it here!!!! I moved here from the Midwest out of college and there isn't a day that goes by where I don't appreciate the sunshine, the blue skies, and the beaches. Most people I know have moved here from somewhere else, along with the richest people in the world, and have made Southern California their home, making most folks very welcoming. Try it!

Large city, bad public transportation. Need a car to go around.

btw, need a visa to go to East Los Angeles......lol

Living in the area is expensive. The weather is sunny and warm (almost) all year 'round. The sky is a funny color that isn't the blue you're used to, and at night, you can see only a couple dozen stars. There's traffic.
The studios are located in a nearby city called Burbank. If you want to be an audio engineer, welcome.
