Just thought it was about time we had an official attendance thread for WesternU! Hopefully we can get to know eachother a little bit before we all meet in August! Sunny LA here we come!!
 
Hey, how are you? I recently got accepted, but I am still wondering if it's the right school/place for me. Do you happen to know if it's the kind of area where driving is a must? In terms of commuting between school, home, and the grocery stores, do the buses come frequently enough? How's their punctuality?

When I went for the interview, I noticed there were much fewer asian places (practically none that i saw..) than in SF (my hometown). Is asian food really as scarce at it seemed to me when I visited? Or is it just a small drive away?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! If anyone thinks this should not be posted in this thread, please let me know and I will remove it. I just thought this would be a great place for me to talk to those who already decided to go to Western, and find out their reasons for choosing it. I am still in a dilemma =/
 
Hey saucecake. I do not know the area that well but I know within 20 minutes you can be around all the Asian restaurants. I have family that live 20 minutes outside of Pomona in Alhambra/Rosemead area and there are tons of Asian restaurants and grocery stores there if that is important to you.
 
I will also be new to the area as I assume many others in our class will be. I am also from norcal and I have always wanted to live in the LA area. My plan is to go in there with an open mind and hope for the best! I have been looking in the Montclair area and I see some nice places there. Any advice and suggestions from ppl familiar with the area will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!!
 
thanks for all the input, everyone =) I suppose it might be best for me to get a car, then.
 
Hey there. Just saw your note about asian places...You should see Clairmont, which is right next door to Pomona. It has the most adorable downtown with plenty of Asian food. You would love it.

Hope you are doing well. I sent you a pm. Sorry I took so long. 🙂
