Oh and Cal Lutheran University is another great safe option!

Well I can't offer any suggestions other than to say that while U of san diego is a great school, the population really isn't that diverse. However, as san diego itself is very diverse, I don't know if you would consider that a problem

I don't have personal experience with this, but by third-hand knowledge I know that most people apply to UC Merced, UC Riverside, and CSUN as "safety schools"
