With that amount to spend you ll be sharing a place. I d look for roommates on craigslist and check the boards at USF for people looking for roommates.
you gotta get roommates.. you can try daly city or sunset area. Union sq area is too costly, maybe $2000 can get a studio. Try Craigslist would help also..
First off let me say that you picked a great hotel. You are within walking distance of almost everything downtown San Diego has to offer. Walk around Seaport Village and browse the unique shops they have there. That will kill about two hours.Next walk north a few blocks and take a Harbor Excursion Cruise to see San Diego from offshore. It s a good photo opportunity. San Diego looks very different from the waterside. Tours run either 1 or 2 hours in duration. Cost is $20-$25. Check it out here: http://www.sdhe.com/san-diego-harbor-tou��Another way to kill an entire day would be to take a cab to Balboa Park and visit the museums and the Zoo. This area is less than four miles from the Gaslamp area where you will be staying. I wouldn t recommend walking because it s uphill. You could take a bus, but a cab ride is nicer and only a few dollars more.When you re done pick any of the Bistros in the Gaslamp area and have lunch, sit in a sidewalk patio area and order a Margarita or two. The hotel will have these little tour booklets for you to peruse through when you check in. If anything else strikes your fancy...Go for it!
Seaport Village is nice. It has tons of cute quaint shops along a beautiful sea wall looking out to Coronado Island. Coronado is also a great place to visit. Ocean Beach is great and also has tons of shops. Balboa park is beautiful place to relax and spend time outside. The Gaslamp District is also full of things to do and see.
Lucky you. That s a great location. When you re done with the Gaslamp Quarter and Horton Plaza you can walk or take the trolley to Little Italy - lots of great little restaurants and some really cool little boutiques. Then hop back on the Trolley and go over to Old Town and if you still haven t had enough shopping, you can take the trolley all the way to Fashion Valley.
Seaport Village, then cruise over to Coronado on the water taxi. Enjoy!
It will be a lot warmer and the attitudes and lifestyle are very different from Ohio.You asked What can I expect... In Pasadena, you can expect the unexpected!
California is very liberal.Our winters don t have snow (depends where you live.)The humidity is not wet like Ohio.Everything s A LOT MORE expensive here than in Ohio.You seriously need to be more specific as to where in California your stepfather is moving you guys to if you want me to assist you any further.
Most people are free spoken and open to a wide variety of beliefs and thought. Many are very independent, almost to a fault. California is very money and success driven as well. Expect some to be overly concerned about material possessions versus passion or love.Other than that, the weather is great and the beaches warm. LA has some terrible air conditions though. Visit San Diego as soon as you can.
Do you have a snow shovel? Ice scraper? Rock salt? Kiss it goodbye! If you ask any kid here what salt is for, they ll stare at you for a moment, then tell you it s for putting on french fries. Forget all the stereotypes you ve heard about California, most of them aren t true, except for the EXCELLENT weather. Get this: Do you know what the biggest story will be on the news tonight? Rain. Rain is SO rare here, it is the top story on the news every time it happens. Things here are a little further apart than you may be used to. There s a LOT more diversity here. Expect to see and deal with people who have different color skin and different background than you. You ll find out that Taco Bell is NOT real Mexican food. Best Mexican food in the world is here. Same with Burgers. There are several In N Out Burgers in Pasadena. Definitely try one.Hollywood is filled with weird people. You re only 15 miles from Hollywood, and you can even take the train and subway there. Enjoy the weather and don t worry about the rest. Have fun! (Oh, and don t forget to tell your friends. They will be SOOOOO jealous).Old Town Pasadena is really cool. It s especially fun around New Years, when they have the Rose Parade on New Years. You have to go see it once for yourself.
it depens what part of california? i assume LA since that is the section you put it under, so at that i can tell you it is probably a lot more diverse in every sense. people, things to do, weather. you really will find just about every type of person here you could imagine. weather is more mild than ohio i m sure and probably a lot more crouded. it s one of those things you have to see for yourself to get the grasp of it, then you will determine if you like it or not. personally i think the LA area is cool but i ve lived her my whole life and want a change
You will start dressing in layers no matter what the season. The weather changes drastically between morning and late afternoon. You also won t have to shovel snow for the most part anymore. It s a laid-back, sort of, but the political views are more conservative, at least around here. You will have the biggest variety of foods to choose from than you ve probably ever seen or heard of. The scenery is beautiful, even though the state is pretty bankrupt with high unemployment. All in all, I love it here. I won t be going back to the midwest EVER. You won t regret the move.
movie stars everywhere, fancy restaurants, corner gyms, major multiplex theaters abound everywhere.Huge shopping malls conveniently located throughout, exotic cars everywhere you look. Everybody accessorizes themselves with a blackberry or Iphone.. even kids on their skateboards use em Disregard the above if you re moving to Barstow you ll be lucky to find a decent convenient store open.
pasadena is really nice and upscaleits kind of outside of LA a bitdowntown pasadena is where most of the action is atpie and burger is down there you must try itpasadena is more inland, its not by the beach, probably a good hour drive to the beachits not gonna be like the hollywood movies or the hillsand you dont see movie stars everyday, but you do occasionallythere are mass amounts of traffic because driving is the best way to get aroundlos angeles is very spread out with many different areas, you will learn
Depends on where in CA. Different would be smog, ocean, warm weather, mountains, fruits, flakes and nuts, desert, tsunamis, earthquakes, mud slides, the list goes on. Enjoy!

expect lots of earthquakes, more than 10,000 a year!!
I have lived in San Diego. I have no desire to live there again. My ex is from Boston and to me people are too stressed out there. Too many geriatrics in Miami. I now live in Washington State and love it.
Out of those, Boston. It s a great college town. But Seattle would be nice, too.You really should base the decision on the school rather than the city. Which school did you like best when you visited?
Beaches are nice, but rain is overrated. Rain is cold and damp and annoying, especially when it lasts for days. So my recomendation: San Diego
the cheapest is i think Bed Stuyvesantt... but it s bad because it has a lot of bad things . but the good part is the Jewish section. Well since Brooklyn is becoming nice, as in new buildings, and the rich moving in... it s hard to find a cheap one. I lived in Kingshighway and since i live in nj now idk much about the price. but the really good areas are Kingshighway, Sheepsheadbay, Bayridge.. there is brighton beach too. some parts are bad.. Staten Island is cheap too, well you can find cheap ones. But sheepsheadbay is very nice! It s close to the beach, and it s full of russians/ italians/ turkish/ jewish.. it s mix! it has every race. and lots of shopping centers. believe me :] good luck. brooklyn heights is really expensive and rich rich rich!Good Luck!
I had an aunt that lived over by Prospect Park. This was many years ago but she and her husband liked walking around the park. I don t remember them being rich , either. Maybe that was because they were living in Brooklyn?Peace.T
The cheapest as in least costliest place and the safest place are two different things. Which do you want more, cheap or safe?

Pick up a copy of the New Times for info on music events, or go to azcentral.com and do a search for events. I don t know of any paintball places but there are a few laser tag places around and there s Polar Ice. I m not sure what part of the valley you re in but there s a Brunzwick Zone bowling place in Gilbert and Fiddlestix in Tempe has mini golf, batting cages, a driving range and go karts.
Take a drive up to the town of Cave Creek and eat at Big Earl s Greasy Eats or if you want Mexican food El Encanto . They have a gorgeous patio area, and the weather is perfect right now. There s some cool little southwestern shops in Cave Creek.http://www.elencantorestaurant.com/resta��http://www.bigearlsgreasyeats.com/
Try the West Wind Drive-In Movie Theaters in Glendale and Scottsdale - only $6.50 for a double feature. The Glendale site also has a public market on the weekends.http://www.westwinddi.com/
There is a drive in movie on Scottsdale road and McKellips area.
9.85ish
It depends on where you re going. It could be anywhere between $8 and $11, on average.Good luck
They re expansive than other places.
Cigs in New York have a high tax, so they are about $8-9 bucks a pack. I suggest ordering cigs online from overseas. Way cheaper!
depends where u go. but main cost i ve seen is like 8 dollars and change.
There isn t any info about the game other than the fact it s coming in 2010 and it s multi-platform. [PC/360/PS3]
Suggest you re-post in Video Games. This is the Boston forum. To us, Cod is a species of fish.
There are no effective short cuts through the Santa Barbara area. Decades of NIMBYism has caused the whole area there to become a traffic nightmare.
Forget the 154 - its a winding country road. It is a beautiful road on a nice day, but it won t get you anywhere fast. If you want to get to LA the fastest stick to the 101.

I haven t heard of a guy renting a cow, but I have heard that there is a cow path through buildings in the loop. I did see a show awhile back about this. There are metal doors at 100 W. Monroe that open to a hallway through the building. I have also heard that a cow is walked through this hallway occasionally.
This sounds more like a property easement allowing the man to walk across someone else s property for the purpose of watering his livestock. Laws like this are very real in rural areas. I haven t heard of too many cows wandering in Chicago though. Great story.
