Why wouldn’t they come home for Thanksgiving? My kid in CA comes home very Thanksgiving and Christmas?? |
It is amazing. Beautiful. Great education. Great college vibe and social scene. LOVED it. |
| It’s a good safety for those kids aiming for UCLA and USC. I know one who attends after being rejected from both, has enjoyed his time there. Nice campus. You have to visit OP |
Yes it is. |
It's really not. If it even comes up, everyone assumes the reference is to UCSD. I'm sure it's a lovely school, but it's sorely lacking in name recognition and prestige. |
I think any kid attending USD needs to plan to start their career in CA, likely southern CA. There are worse places to live in your early 20s than Mission Beach or other parts of San Diego/Orange County/LA. |
Yeah it has a nice perch but it’s in the condo/mall doldrums. Almost every young local lives along there at some point, no one speaks of it fondly. |
| Its a Catholic college, isn't it? |
What’s wrong with the area? I was there last month and didn’t notice anything bad |
Nothing is wrong with it. |
Like I said, lovely campus and solid private school. It's just not considered by locals as "a very nice part of San Diego". IYKYK, and there are many swanky options up the coast that would casually blow the doors off of the Linda Vista area if you put the areas side-by-side. |
| San Diego State University |
That is a different college. |
Good luck buying a house in an area where the average price is $1.8 million though. |
Irrelevant, takes a lot more money to live where you want to in SD |
