I went to grad school at CSULB and was interviewed at LBCC for a position once--the LBCC area is pretty sketchy.

The main strips there are pretty rundown. The student population at LBCC reflects the area, too. It's nothing like SGV.

That's all I can give you.

Disregard the above post. 90808 zip code is Lakewood/LB and is one of the few true traditional middle class neighborhoods left in LA County.

The above post is partially correct...the main LBCC campus is on PCH and is not a good area.

But there's also a large campus in the 90808 area, and that is a good location.
