Los Angeles
Everything that happens in the USA happens first in Los Angeles. In glamour, fashion, arts, and cuisine, L.A. is the future taking shape right now. And, of course, Hollywood is the entertainment capital of the world - where the most watched television shows and films are made, and where world famous celebrities live, work and play.

Los Angeles has its share of top universities. The University of Southern California and UCLA rank with the best anywhere. Look for ELC Los Angeles on Wilshire Boulevard, on the city's exclusive west side. Here, close to Beverly Hills and the beaches of Santa Monica and Venice, students find themselves perfectly situated to study and have fun too. Weekend trips take them to Disneyland, Dodgers' baseball games, and to San Francisco and San Diego too.

Students who choose ELC Los Angeles will study in the most glamorous city in golden Southern California, where the person having coffee next to you may be a world-famous celebrity!
