Housing is generally plentiful in California but you may need to either get a small apartment or get someplace where you can share the rent with others. As for jobs, generally, the jobs that are available (depending on your experience/background) are lower paying jobs.. You would need to determine where you want to live. In California, there are many areas that differ substantially in climate, jobs and living accommodations.
Thanks for great tips! Indeed, Community Colleges are great option for saving the money. However, I will complete my 2nd year before I go to US so I should transfer directly to the University starting my 3rd year. As far as I know, Community Colleges offer Associate degrees only, am I right?
Do you know if students may be eligible to receive more than one scholarship? I mean: university, local or federal? Can total aid cover the majority of costs?

Thank you very much again :-)
