Additional driving directions are available at www.swlaw.edu/directions. When to Arrive


It is strongly recommended that you have your living arrangements resolved at least one month prior to the August Orientation. To have an apartment for early to mid- August, you need to be visiting apartments, making a deposit and signing a lease the first week of July. If you wait until the first week of August to begin your housing search, it will be likely that you will not be able to move until September 1, and therefore you should plan for temporary housing. For more information on housing, see page 4.


Incoming students who have an apartment and are looking for a roommate should contact the Admissions Office and place their information on the roommate list, or visit www.swlaw.edu/studentservices/studentlife/information/roommates.


Being Financially Prepared


When planning to arrive in Los Angeles, be sure to bring enough cash or traveler’s checks to get through your initial three-week stay. All out-of-town checks when deposited in the bank are held for 5-10 days, and you are not able to draw out these funds until the checks have cleared. Check with your current bank to see if their services differ from other banks. For more information on banking, see page 13.
