I was visiting during the first week of school so there were still a lot of people trying to get to know their way around, and older students would always help them, and me.

The staff was so helpful. I walked into the propective student center, they asked what grade I was in, and if I would be interested in the campus visit that was about to begin. So so helpful!

I loved the pond with the turtles and Kaoi fish. So pretty. The campus gave off a home feeling to be, and I am from a small town in the mountains, so thats hard to find in a city, but i found it!



Building/Facilities Maintenance/Cleanliness:

there was some area that was under construction, but other than that, what I saw was very clean and neat. Although the main lunch hall was kinda crowded,



Dormitories:

There were the blue light buttons all over campus that if you push, a cop will come quickly. That made me feel safer but even without those I didnt feel unsafe

I never really explored immediately around the campus, but there is a trolly station on campus that will take you anywhere in the city

I loved the downtown, so much to do just walking around. Also going over the bridge to Coranada, the sight was amazing of the city. I loved the beaches, La Jolla was the best, hard to get parking!

Campus Visit Notes for San Diego State University


Visit Description:

I live in the mountain near several ski resorts. Its insanely cold here in the winters, I also hate snow. I cant wait to move to San Diego. Arriving the first day and seeing the beaches and palm trees, the city life and all the people, a million differently things to do at all times. I knew i had finally found where i wanted to live. Its every thing opposite from my home and everything i could imagine in a single place. Oh i cant wait to go back!

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

I loved eating at Cafe Sevilla, it has very authentic spain food that is cheap and tasty.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Take the trolly everytime you are going down town. Parking is hard to find and expensive. park at a shopping mall or something and ride the trolly for the day.
