Just to be clear, I won't be studying while I'm in the US.

I have already been looking at accommodation and employment. I just want get a feel from people who may know a little more than I do.

I have pretty well researched everything.

I find it useful to hear from other people's experiences and perspectives.

There are some great cities in the US with a good inner-city feel, and walkability .. as Solo asked, why have you chosen LA?

I have just always wanted to move there since I was little. I think I'm fascinated by the number of people who talk trash about it, I want to see for myself. Everyone says not to go there and it just makes me want to go there more.

Besides I love the beach and year round warm weather and I drive everywhere where I live in Aus so It won't be any different.

Regarding the Fukushima blues comments, I have looked this up (google/YouTube) but I'm struggling to see how it's relevant?

LA is a cool place no doubt, great for young folks too, southern cali has a lot to offer and is a great lifestyle, but its not cheap in LA and not easy to get about without wheels...go for it. There is a resurgence in downtown LA arts district and loft development, new nightlife scene.
