All Southern California

What can I say? We get many cloudless and sunny days that are perfect for hitting the beach. Winter's not too cold and Spring weather is usually fantastic. It does get a little too hot over summer, however. But I suppose that can be remedied by a quick trip to the beach!

Pretty Secure.

I feel quite safe. The only time I feel unsafe was when a group of my friends were talking about rumors of ghosts or paranormal stuff around the dorms. Other than that, the campus is pretty secure.

Dining food is great, and there are different options to choose from. There are also well known places to eat on campus such as Wendy's, Subway, Panda Express. Not to mention, there is an University Town Center right next to campus with other restaurants. Close by is the Spectrum and Diamond Jamboree.
