programs in SF Bay and/or LA area???

Published

Hi,

I'm looking to apply to ADN programs in the SF bay area and/or LA (near West Hollywood/Santa Monica) area...Just wondering if anyone knows what programs are good out there???

Since I'm a female and would pretty much be on my own I'm looking for a campus that's safe and somewhat pleasant to be at. I would consider BSN programs such as SF state or UCLA, but I don't have statistics or chemistry under my belt yet. But I have enough pre-requisites to apply to most all other programs.

I've never really been to LA, so I don't know what their campuses look like or if they're really safe? And since I'll be there for at least 2 years, I want to move to a place where I will feel comfortable.

Some of the schools I'm thinking about applying:

Northern California

- Chabot college (never been)

-CCSF (not crazy about the campus)

- Contra Costa (was going to apply here, but took summer school there and cannot stand the campus)

-Merritt College?

- Ohlone College?

Southern California

- LA City College? (never been)

- Long Beach City College?

- Santa Monica College (this college seems pretty decent? input? )

- LA Harbor College?

- LA County college of Nursing and Allied Health?

Are there any other colleges that are not on the list I might wanna check out? I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of colleges to apply to... Since I don't know the area that well (LA), I'm not sure which schools to apply to?

Thanks!! :)

If you want safe, in the LA area, look around suburban CCs. Honestly, just because they are not in the inner city doesn't mean they are worse, or the education is bad. But if safety is an issue for you then look other areas. Some parts of OC or Riverside/San Bernardino. Plus, SF and LA are over crowded and there are no jobs, especially for ADN, from what I have heard.

Good luck and apply to as many as possible!
