    You should not stay there alone.
    There’s a lot of gang activity around that area.

    If you are from out of town, try OC or IE. Cheaper area’s of LA are gang infested slime pits. If you are white, you are not welcome in any areas around LACC.

    Depends on how much money you have. You don’t want to be within 4 blocks of the school (in any direction) and you wouldn’t want to be south at all.

    The comment about being white in that area isn’t really true, I have a white friend who lives there and has for over a year.

    Los Feliz, Silverlake, Echo Park, West Hollywood, Mid-City are all really good options for you. I’d suggest driving the neighborhood at night before moving in.

    How many people are out walking dogs? How many kids are out playing? Are people hanging around, look shady? Drive it at night and day. Also the LAPD has a gang map if that worries you.

    The surrounding area is reasonably safe, only during the day though to be honest the area is really a dump. Even if it is safe at night you wouldn’t feel safe. Try to stay within the large area that is west of La Brea and north of Pico… In general these areas are the more desirable locations and tend overall to be safe even at odd hours of the night.
