Personal recommendation:
Great academic experience and a lot of fun. FINAL COMMENTS
Try to live on campus in the international house to have a real international experience (a lot of people from all over the world). By the way, once you get there don't get stuck there but try to meet local people and go party off campus too. Try to find the time (I know it's difficult because classes are hard) to travel because there is a lot to see around (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Sequoia National Park, Yosemite, San Francisco...)
