La Jolla is a great part of San Diego. It is beautiful, has great weather, great beaches, and many different "food and entertainment" options. I love spending time in the area. It is quite and expensive part of the city, however, and the streets can be a little confusing at times if you're not used to the area. It isn't too bad but just make sure you're being a little extra careful if you're new there. Once you get it, though, you'll be able to get around a beautiful city! Most of San Diego's nightlife is going to be in the downtown area, but if you want to watch a gorgeous sunset La Jolla is definitely the place to do it. Overall it's a great place with a lot to offer.
The biggest gripe I have living here is that rent is absurdly high for a student like me, but the food options everywhere are pretty diverse. I haven't really explored the nightlife if there is any, as I spend most of my nights studying and just exploring the city during the daytime where buses are present. Definitely recommend driving but there will be places where it is difficult to find parking just because of how close it is to certain locations (malls, universities, etc.).
La Jolla is a wonderful town full of magnificent beaches and places to eat fantastic food. The community is vibrant and very focused on health and wellness. There are a number of community resources that allow individuals to shop, eat, get medical care, and even travel. One of the best cities that I have been to and the environment provides a wonderful atmosphere for anyone wishing to be by the beach and enjoy a life of luxury
