LA traffic is bad enough that I’d still consider the school locations. I’d recommend somewhere around Glendale/Pasadena. That’ll put you near Occidental College and better positioned for Scripps. Unless you had additional site seeing in mind.


I guess my concern about Pasadena is the recent fire.... was it not badly affected?

The Huntington Library is worth a visit out that way too.
Went to Huntington Library last August. One of the most impressive places I've visited.


Would love to do that! Also Getty.

Yeah that was my first thought as well. Or I might split the time between say Pasadena and somewhere more central to touristy places like Westwood or Century City, to also visit USC from.

You could end up staying somewhere that's an hour away in traffic. Need more details.

I stayed in Marina Del Ray for a recent college visit and it worked out well.
