Many college students don’t have a car, or the price of gas is too much, therefore having a fun filled weekend can be tricky. But you’re in luck! The LA Metro system is here to save your social life…I will not only tell you how to get to these places with no car and on the cheap, but also why these places are the best for your buck.

“Lions, tigers and bears, oh my! Need I say more?”
