Overall

Los Angeles is an exciting city which I find very good for partying and shopping. Los Angelinos(?) are not intellectuals but there is something fun and carefree about them. Of course there are the aggressive, competitive characters but most tend to be laid back and enjoying the great weather they have. The metro buses are usable, although having a car makes moving around town much less complicated. Finding parking can be a hassle sometimes but if you're willing to pay the money, there is almost always somewhere close to park your car. As for safety issues, I did not find that to be a problem at all. Of course stay away from certain areas near downtown LA at night, but every city has "those places." I really enjoyed visiting the Santa Monica and West Hollywood areas. Westwood village, where you find UCLA, is a great place to visit if you have the extra time. They have many interesting restaurants and UCLA students seem to enjoy living there very much.
