<p>Yeah can you visit at all? LA and SD I guess are similar in some ways but also very different. SD I think is very beachy and laidback, it’s located literally right next to the beach in a rich suburb-y area. LA is pretty much next to Hollywood so you have lots of the big-city feel nearby. San Diego’s downtown, club/bar scene is probably a 15 min drive from campus. So it depends what environment you prefer.</p>
<p>Also, agreed completely with what Kings said above - don’t pick a place because it’s prestigious, you need to honestly think about where you would fit in better and where you are going to be happiest for 4 years of your life. Good luck</p>
