I agree with dreamcatcher725, different strokes for different folks. I was born and raised in LA, I actually live right off of the 110 closer to Pasadena. So I grew up around USC, but I decided to do my undergrad as far away possible. So I ended up in Northern California (Humboldt State), far north, my school is actually 2 hours away from the Oregon border. However, its going to be nice to back home for a bit and among friends/family. Living away from home, has definitely taught me to appreciate certain aspects of it, but I can also understand the calling of living somewhere else.
