LARS? Never heard of it.

For apartments, you can look on Craigslist: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/apa/

Also, you can go on www.WestsideRentals.com but I think you have to pay to be a memember on there.

If you're planning on moving to Santa Monica and want to party in Hollywood, I recommend getting a car. There aren't any subways that go from Hollywood to Santa Monica, and I don't think buses are open that late/early.

I think it's pretty expensive to live in Santa Monica. Just look on the 2 websites I posted to compare prices in different cities. I live in Hollywood and hate it! It's so ugly, dirty, smoggy, and noisey here! I want to live by the beach again!! (I used to live in Redondo Beach area)

The better clubs in LA are Vangaurd, Avalon, King King, etc... they are all in Hollywood.

hahaha... Julia doesn't even like CA, she hates everything about it.
I don't have any suggestions for places to live but Redondo Beach does look & sound nice as well as the surrounding areas.

As for clubs/venues, there are plenty and each one has a different vibe/crowd. It all depends on what tickles your fancy.

i highly recomend redondo beach as well.. its where i live! .. it is a bit of a drive from hollywood (not bad though.. the traffic is never rough club hours for me. the downfall is it is a bit pricey but u can definetly find some cheaper things. it doesnt have quite as much going on as santa monica but its got enough. the traffic is never too bad inside of the city during the day either!

Hey, I live in LA (just south of downtown) at USC. I have pioneer CDJ-200s. You can come over anytime you want and use them if you want. PM me or email me at mitzman at usc dot edu if you want to use them.

I'm always up for a good music playing session.

Yeah, this all really depends on what area of town you move to... two CDJ-1000m3 sitting here as well in Burbank.

Both SAE and LARS have brand new facilities in Hollywood just across the street from one another.

SAE offers an open house every quarter, LARS has more of an open door policy to check-out the facilities.

It's a toss-up between the two programs, better to check it out yourself

i graduated from MI recording engineering program.. same kinda thing.. i liked it! just didnt like the schedualing of classes.. u definetly want to be close to hollywood if u go to MI.. i had like a 3 hour gap in my classes everyday! SUCKED!!!!!!!!!! lol
