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

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!! :)
