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 very pleasant neighbourhood, perhaps the most agreeable I have ever lived in. The ocean is very close and almost all around you. It has an almost tropical feeling, somewhat similar to the West Indies or Caribbean Mexico. The people are mostly nice, but you have to know them a bit first before they start being friendly. Great location and weather all year round!
Can't beat the beach being your backyard, and how contained La Jolla is as a whole. You can find most daily necessities well within the perimeter of the town - yummy dining, tasty coffee, groceries, excellent exercise possibilities - as well as more niche things like tide pools, surfing, dancing, and community centers. You can visit renowned museums as well!
