[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oxi is conveniently located (20 min to downtown LA, 10 min to Pasadena, 45 min to the beach).The area around school (Eagle Rock) is fine, but I would think it would be nice to have a car.[/quote]

Student parking on campus is available, permit required but I don’t think it costs anything.  Leaving a car over the summer or semester abroad is also included. DC never had a car but there were so many people who did, it wasn’t an issue.

OP, we were in your situation, we didn’t visit until after admission. The campus is lovely, my younger DC, at a bigger state school, is impressed by the mall (for the olds, the HS in Clueless is Oxy). My DC is about to graduate, has loved the school and grown immensely there.  Was able to do summer research and knows people in the diplomacy program, but isn’t involved.

DC likes the surrounding neighborhoods (the resident crank here finds them  scary). DC only lived on campus, but is a little jealous of the houses friends toon. Senior year. Particularly the Highland Park side for food and shops.  Eagle Rock on the campus side is more utilitarian CVS/Target/Sprouts/hardware. Colorado Blvd has shops and restaurants, but not as immediate for students, but there’s a TJ’s. I love Cindy’s diner, usually a wait, though.

We’ve stayed in Pasadena and Glendale, both were easy enough.[/quote]
