It will be difficult for you to find temporary housing (if your job is summer limited) in Alhambra. Since you are from Ohio let me tell you about the area.
Alhambra has a very large population of Asian-Pacific Islandlers and Latinos, there are Caucasians but they are decreasing in number. Alhambra is split into two zip codes 91801 and 91803. It is NOT bicylce friendly. The major streets are narrow, traffic is dense, and there are alot of Tractor-Trailers on the roads. If you bicycle, I would do it on the sidewalk and NOT the street.
For nightlife, you are 10 minutes away from Old Town Pasadena, with abundant night life, shopping and an urban, upscale feel. You can also head West to Hollywood/West LA (about 30 minutes at night without traffic).
Alhambra is not served by a light rail system. Only buses.
These are nearby cities you may want to consider: Monterey Park, Rosemead, Temple City, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Highland Park (Los Angeles 90042) or CSULA Area (Los Angeles 90032). Housing costs are very high in this area, see what you can afford or look for a room to rent on craigslist or the pennysaver.
