It’s 30 minutes from a country that is literally tearing itself apart through drug-related violence. UCSD IS safe.
Drug cartels make runs through La Jolla all the time and even recruit from the local student population, though SDSU students make up the large majority of this figure. Weaponry is a must, I personally recommend a 20 Gauge Shotgun or an Ingram SMG (buy a suppressor, otherwise, it jumps up and to the right). Also, when traveling from your dorm to classes, get a couple of classmates and use a modified version of the two by two cover formation used by SWAT; snipers are an ever-present danger. When in a classroom, always try to sit near the exits; terrorists often take buildings hostage and you need a way to get out fast. Buy Kevlar bookcovers from the local stores because the last thing you want is to push your way through interlocking fields of fire to your dorm room just to find that your homework has bullet holes in it.
Other than that, you should be pretty safe at SD.
