Los Angeles is the second largest city in the US by population, and is located in Southern California just a few hours away from the Mexican Border. Los Angeles, or LA for short, is also often referred to as the "City of Angels". LA has lots of breathtaking beaches and surfing is a very popular sport with the locals. Students studying English courses in Los Angeles, will quite often find that there is too much to do in LA, and not enough time to do it all! Students staying at an English school in Los Angeles can head to carnival-like Santa Monica pier and watch as people go by, do some shopping on Rodeo Drive, or enjoy some of the best Mexican cuisine you can find outside of Mexico. LA is also home to many US movie stars and celebrities too, and often visitors will purchase a "map of the stars" to try and see some of their beautiful homes. If you don't feel like hunting for celebrities though, you can always just head to Hollywood Boulevard where you can see many celebrities names engraved on stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
