Most of Pasadena is safe with nice people. There is a small area that is sketchy, but there would be no need for you to go there unless you lived there. Anywhere in the LA area you need to be aware of your surroundings. I can only tell you from my friends perspectives, and they like Pasadena because they don t see a lot of racism. Nice people, friendlier than some other areas of LA, imho.Many kids attend private schools in Pasadena, but lots of kids especially like Marshall, and also Pasadena High Schools, they seem to be the favorite of the public high schools. PCC (Pasadena City College) is a great 2 yr community college, and you can get guaranteed admission to a UC if you follow the program. Really nice campus, good professors, nice kids. Caltech, Occidental, Cal State LA, Art Center College of Design, Pacific Oaks, USC, Azusa Pacific are some of the other nearby colleges. Further away are UCLA, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount, etc.Lots of beautiful girls of all types!Pasadena has lots to do, great shopping area in Old Town, restaurants, museums, theaters, upscale bowling (lots of fun even if you don t bowl), great hiking for all abilities. You can do an easy 3 mile roundtrip hike to a water fall across a stream (Eaton Canyon). It s neat being so close, yet feeling so far, from a city. Pasadena shuts down a bit early for my taste, but kids tend to find things to do. Also, kids seem to know kids at all the other public and private schools in the area, so lots of choices in friends. It s easy to get to other places in LA from Pasadena. Good luck!
You know, gangs are really over-hyped in the media. Sure, they are all over, but it s not like they are omnipresent.Pasadena has some REALLY great areas, as well as some less-desirable areas (like any town). Old Town Pasadena is a great place to explore, and they have the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl each year, which is a huge event. You ll find racist people everywhere, but most people in SoCal aren t racist at all. It s sort of a live and let live attitude here. There are TONS of beautiful girls here. SoCal is famous for them.There are also some VERY good schools in Pasadena. And some very good Colleges and Universities nearby as well. As for things to do, look at some of my other answers in this section. I post that answer about 10 times a day, and don t have the room to do it here. But you re about 15 minutes away from Hollywood, and 35 minutes away from Disneyland, for starters.
it s a pretty nice city to live in. but it s a large city (160,000) people, so it has a couple of bad areas. but it has some good schools and it is in the center of the LA metro area so you can do so many things the area has to offer. as far as the racism factor, well, that is not really an issue in so cal because it is probably the most diverse area in the nation. there are people from just about every race, religion and ethnicity. so bottom line i think you will like living there. good luck.
well its pretty safe and nice town although it get busy on januraly 1st for the Rose pardareand lets good colleges cal tech is thereand JPL is nearbyexcellent hospital are there tooI m not sure about the high schools thoiugh)they also have the gold line and their own bus system called ARTS

Mum? As in what Australia and Britain say instead of Mom?I hope you have a green card.
