living around LA is going to cost $2k a month in living expenses, minimum. i can't believe indiana would be as expensive. you'd also be in the San Fernando Valley, which is a huge collection of suburbs north of LA (there's a significant ridge between SFV and LA). california is cool cuz there's 40 million people there, so there's probably something to do or someone to meet. beaches, mountains, amusement parks, hot sunny weather. but there's also 40 million people there and everything is spread out, so you'll need a car and you'll also spend about 50% of your time in traffic.

Technically most of the SFV is within LA city limits
