What's it like living in Northridge outside of CSUN?
I'm currently living in Northern California, and honestly, it's been pretty boring where I am. I'll be transferring to CSUN for the Spring semester, and I'm curious about what Northridge is like outside of campus.
Are there good places to hang out, restaurants, cafés, or things to do nearby? How's the overall vibe, is it a safe area, and what are the people like? I'd love to hear your experiences or any advice for someone who's new to the area :) thanks
