Touching down in Los Angeles airport next month. Will be spending nearly two months as an exchange student with weekends free. Basically,

Lived my whole life in the orange.
If you're a naturefag, go to Yosemite and Grand Sequoia in the central eastern part hugging Nevada. Camp for a few days and hike around.
If you like popculture and urban stuff, obviously LA and SF. Sacramento is cool for a day trip because of the old western theme. Also San Diego has some cool shit like an aircraft carrier and a good zoo. Plus you can go 45 minutes south and check out the shit hole that is Tijuana and the border.
Northern California (past SF) is Oregon-Lite and kind of redneck iirc. Lots of trees and flat land.
I'd recommend coming to the Central Coast (orange) if you want to experience the beach scene or whatever. Santa Barbara and Pismo have good beaches with large college populations (college girls + the beach is always good) plus there's a small nude beach by Pismo :^). This area is called wine country as well, so if you're 21+ and into that, there ya go.
Enjoy

That's nice, the college I'm going to is in Orange County. How much would it cost to get to Yosemite from there? Also, how much money should I bring and are domestic flights the best way to get around even within state boundaries?

Since I'm right in the middle of the coast, I tend to just drive wherever. However, since you're so far south it'd probably take 8-10 hours to drive to Yosemite. Really anything travel over 7 hours to drive is best just flown. But it really depends on your preferences (if your time is limited, fly. If not, drive. But the San Joaquin valley is boring af so be prepared). You'll be next to LAX and I can't imagine tickets for intrastate travel being over $200.
Also, if you make any friends, a road trip up the coast from LA-SF would probably be a good way to see a lot of the state, though i've never done this.

LA is awful

This man is your friend, OP. Since you're in OC, feel free to come down and visit America's Finest City™.

San Diego is where its at. Though I would say that San Francisco is a better city to visit
