what are some close cities to fullerton california?!?!?

I'll be attending school at Fullerton state and me and 3 other friends are looking for a 3 bedroom apartment. Does anyone know of any close cities to Fullerton California that aren't too long from the state school? we were looking in anaheim and Brea. But are there any others that are good areas? Also, if you know of any apartment complexes that offer 3 bedroom in those areas i would really appreciate it because 3 bedrooms seems to be very rare to find. Majority of the apartments we've looked at only offered 2 bedrooms. But anyways, please let me know! i would really appreciate it! i already lived in the dorms at another state college. I had to move due to personal reasons and transfered to Fullerton state. As much as i would love to relive the dorm experience, i think i'm ready to live in a apartment! i've already looked at the schools apartment listings. There were about 5 complexes that offered 3 bedrooms and i've seen all 5 except one, but the lady who showed me the listings told me to not live there because its shitty..haha yes, she said shitty.

1. placentia, buena park, and yorba linda are pretty close. check out this site from calstate fullerton's housing page: http://www.fullerton.edu/housing/apartments.htm
2. Honestly, you are probably best off trying to live in the city of Fullerton itself. Check with the college house department for resources for off campus housing options, they can help you find safe and affordable housing. Living close to campus is essential to making sure you get to classes on time and can attend campus events and be involved in your college experience, especially considering if you don't live within about 10 miles of Fullerton you'll spend most of your college career on the freeway commuting!! ICK!
3. Hi, I went to CSUF and my suggestion is to live in the dorms if you're new to the area. Its easier to make friends because its a commuter school and no one speaks to each other. Also join lots of clubs, trust me do it and in four years you'll thank me. I started late but was happy that I did because I missed out on a lot of events and experiences. If you're really set on a 3 bed room, I think its really rare. As for two bedrooms, I suggest The Pines apartments. Ask for their newer section because the rooms are huge. I also suggest the Greenhouse apartments and Camden (walking/biking distance).
