any advice on moving to southern CA for college?

hey, im moving to southern california from the east coast and id like some input from a CA native on this.im thinking of going to SDSU or LBSU. i want to live on a coastal region so i can experience all ive heard about it. if i went to LB i'd commute from coastal orange county. if i went to SDSU (not ucsd for tuition purposes) id commute from western SD. for a 21 year old who's fairly quiet and laid back, a part-time musician, wants to meet a few new people and doesnt want a party every night.what advice would a native have about the pros/cons of the two places. or just advice. either would work. thanks. maybe someone out there knows the local scenes better than myself. and im also an avid sports follower, to the point where my career might involve them. if that factors into anything..

thanks.

San Diego is more laid back. LB is kind of scary and ghetto in some parts. Do you know how expensive it is to live in orange county? In Seal Beach or Huntington Beach (the 2 closest OC coastal cities to LB) a STUDIO apartment will be about $950. And thats IF you can find one. SD is cheaper, but not much. I love Huntington Beach, its awesome.but my 1 bedroom 5 blocks from the ocean costs $1600 a month. Good luck

Not even close. San Diego is the place to go. I wish I had gone to school either there or Santa Barbara.
