I am transferring to West Los Angeles College for this fall semester 2010 and will be living in a dorm for a semester. I plan on being a resident of California and wanted to know if you Californian residents can give me any advice. I two questions. I wanted to know a good place to find a place and a roommate. My second question is any advice on finding jobs around the Culver area. Thank you.

It's hot here and the tax is high.

To find a place to live: Go to http://losangeles.craigslist.org and look under Housing. You'll find ads posted by people looking for roommates and renting apartments, and browsing them is free. There's also Westside Rentals, but I think they charge a fee to use their service. To find a job: Again, Craigslist is a good place to start. But if you're looking for more part-time stuff, you might have to walk door to door to get it done faster. Some places don't even post jobs online.

ok someone recommended craigslist...but its alright..i wouldnt trust it this is what you need to kno about craigslist... u can find some legit ppl or some could just be weirdos trying to rape u or somesort....because anybody can post anything on craigslist...ANYbody! also yea u can also find jobs in craigslist. like i said some of them are legit but some other are scams if they ask u to pay a fee or whateveer its most likely a scam... most of them that are legit requires experience! so anyways... Housing: i would recommend that look around your college..they should have a bullentin around there with students posting rooms for rent..i attend Cerritos College, i know its a community college, but by our game room they have a bullentin, and it has all kinds of post for students who need rooms by the school...so im pretty sure they should have some right there, if you cant seem to find it, ask an adminstator they should know.. also if you go to like super markets u can see posting of rooms for rent..some might be students but sometimes families post them because their rent is to high..e.g my bf mom owns a house but since the mortgage is too high she rents the back part..everytime someone moves out, she rents it really fast i gues because her neiborhood is alright.she lives in the good side of lynwood... like right now she has a student renting tha back but the lady has like three kids... but yea getting back to the subject... Jobs: I would recommend the good o fasion way, go ask. You can try the fox hills mall in Culver City or the Creshaw Mall, the creshaw mall is alright just be careful if you are caucasian, indian, or asain, we are mainly use to africans and mexicans...they are alot of rude african americans that go to the creshaw mall or you can try snagajob.com it mainly post jobs from big compainies e.g taco bell, jiffylube etc or Carreerbuilder.com
