Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles is the second-largest city in the United States, and as such, truly has something for everyone from a college perspective (and several other perspectives, for that matter… its a very big city with nearly 4 million people). The weather is great, the beaches are close, entertainment options are nearly endless, and the cultural mix makes for amazing food and art no matter your tastes. 

With all of that good stuff comes a very high cost of living, but if you don’t mind roommates, have a look at these colleges in Los Angeles, CA.

Get to Know Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles, also known as the City of Angeles, gets its worldwide fame from being the city of stars, and it does, indeed have an endless supply of fun related to TV, music, and movies. It also has a lot to offer college students who don’t want to buy into the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, too. 

The weather, for starters, is as good as it gets in the entire country. Add the beaches to the west and the mountain hiking to the east, and it’s also incredibly scenic if you can find your way out of the concrete jungle. A good part about that concrete jungle, however, is the number of opportunities in literally every field of study. Students come from all over the country for internships and jobs in LA, but being able to network face-to-face is still a great benefit, even as digital breakthroughs make the “office” a lot different than it used to be. 

There is certainly no shortage of fun and sunny days for students who choose to go to college in Los Angeles… not to mention all of the colleges to choose from!
