Heh. I wish I was in your situation.
I just had to withdraw from a bunch of classes last week. Not because I'm lazy, but because I cant pay the fucking rent....
So now I'm working my ass off for this semester and next summer and hoping I make enough to go back. I just need a semester too. I hate not finishing something I've paid almost 30K for.

Santa Ana and Irvine are night and day different.
Santa Ana is a shithole. I have a friend who got shot in the face in Santa Ana.
Irvine is very nice, but you'll have trouble finding a house for 400k there.

I have heard that Santa Anna is pretty cool. I have heard of Irvine, too, but know nothing about it. Good luck, man. 6 figures is definetly nothing to blow your nose at! Follow your dream!! You already have a helluva start. On the money part, anyways.

Newport Beach would be a great deal more expensive than an extra 100k. It's the second most pricey area in OC, second to Laguna Beach I believe.
And 10 minutes from the beach? No way, 5 minutes max drive to the beach from anywhere in Newport. Same pretty much goes for HB, if you are driving 10 minutes to get to the beach you are either on the border of Westminster or in Westminster. Or Fountain Valley.

Ahh, yeah. That's true.
The thing I like about Irvine is how green it is. Seems like there's a park every block. Literally. And trees fucking everywhere.

Irvine is incredibly safe. As far as OC goes, I'd be weary of living in Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Westminster, and a few other areas.
Huntington Beach would be a little cheaper than Irvine I'd imagine, and it's still fairly safe. If you can somehow find a place you can afford in Irvine, jump on it. Incredibly safe community, important if you plan on settling down and having kids.

I'm not planning on having kids, but I have been mugged, and on a seperate occasion had my car stolen, and it was a disaster, in Pennsylvania of all places. I really can't fit in a ghetto type community, I stick out like a sore thumb.:(

college is just a system to keep the rich richer and the poor poorer, its also a way for the people in power to keep power longer put implementing increasing schooling time and then increase the ladder time so u never get to the top u just plateu somehwere in the middle.

Irvine, land of manicured lawns and over zealous police.
I grew up and lived in Irvine for my entire first 18 years, it's an incredibly nice place. Yeah there's parks everywhere, and lots of pools too (especially the Woodbridge area). Wonderful place to be a kid, I could wander the streets at anytime of the night or day and always felt really safe. With that you get a rather sterile enviornment, but once you're a little older you can always drive out to other cities to find some life.
The cops like I said are a little too into their jobs, it's so safe they often turn to busting people for things cops in any other cities wouldn't have the time for. People still laugh when I tell them I've gotten both jaywalking tickets and curfew tickets (can't be out past 10:00pm when you're under 18)
As for the college situation, my 2 cents is that you should take the time to finish that degree someday soon. If the companies that good they'll have no problem with letting you finish. My dad was in the same situation you are, left UCLA two semesters before he finished to start his career. Now he's approaching his late fifties and got let go from the company. Even with the amount of time and experience he has he's having a really difficult time finding a job. Companies are passing him up because he can't say he has a college degree, even though he has more more experience and skill than many of the other applicants. It's not that much work, and not doing it may haunt you later.
I don't live there anymore but I'm sure you'll enjoy the OC, welcome to some of the best weather anywhere in the WORLD, just try to ignore a lot the people : )
