Featured Locations

Los Angeles:

Known as the "City of Angels," Los Angeles is the largest city in California and the second largest city in the United States. Home to more than 3.8 million people from all around the world, Los Angeles is a multicultural, metropolitan hub. Throughout the city, you can find various ethnic communities like Little Tokyo, Thai Town, and Little Ethiopia.

The variety of L.A.'s inhabitants is matched by the range of activities the city has to offer. Referred to as the "Entertainment Capital" of the world, Los Angeles has more working artists, writers, filmmakers, dancers, and musicians than any other city at any time in the history of civilization. Only 15 miles from National University, Hollywood is home to historic L.A. sites like Grumman's Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the famous "Hollywood" sign. If you prefer a more hands-on entertainment experience, you can visit Universal Studios, one of the oldest and most famous Hollywood studios still in use. Universal Studios is also a theme park where adults and children can, as they say, 'ride the movies,' with attractions based on Jurassic Park, The Mummy, and Shrek! If something different from theme parks, there are over three hundred museums in Los Angeles, which can be visited year-round. Located in the Santa Monica Mountains, the Getty Museum features art from the Middle Ages to the present and is well known for its architecture, gardens, and view of Los Angeles.

San Diego:

San Diego is known as "America's Finest City," a reputation it has earned from its year-round beautiful weather, sunny beaches, 70 miles of breathtaking Pacific Ocean coastline, and a variety of cultural activities. San Diego is the eighth largest city in the U.S., yet retains a relaxed atmosphere. It is a center for high-tech business: electronics, telecommunications, and biotechnology. It is also a center for sports, including surfing, sailing, golf, biking, hiking, and almost anything else you can think of. And with world-renowned attractions such as the San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park and SeaWorld, it is no wonder this city attracts 32 million visitors every year!
