Los Angeles vs. Chicago
Hey.
I'm a 21 year old female looking for some advice. I'm a college student from Boston transferring to one of two locations to finish my undergraduate work. I've been out of school for 2 years due to financial reasons, but now I'm ready to go back and I want to be somewhere new. I'm deciding between Los Angeles and Chicago.
Chicago : I'd be attending Columbia College, which is more expensive and I'd have to pay out of pocket for housing.
Los Angeles : I'd be attending Santa Monica City College to get some core requirements out of the way and then finishing at UCLA [cheaper due to California residency]
My life revolves around music and art, and I will be going to school for graphic design and photography but also working with booking companies/music venues. I need to know which of these two places, LA or Chicago has the best music [indie/alternative/emo/rock] and art scenes, and which school would be best for what I'm trying to pursue. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I can be more detailed if it will help.
I'm sorry this is such a long entry.
Thanks in advance!
