Buffy Summers was expelled from Hemery and moved to
Sunnydale, where she attended
Sunnydale High School, whose exterior scenes were shot at
Torrance High School at 2200 W. Carson Street in
Torrance, California.

University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) campus in
Westwood, at

Dawn was a student, rebuilt after the original high school was
blown up.
