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.

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

Hold on. The campus IS absolutely beautiful. But the "in a very nice part of San Diego" part ... ? Are you serious, or being facetious?

What’s wrong with the area? I was there last month and didn’t notice anything bad

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.

Nothing is wrong with it.

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.

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

It is amazing. Beautiful. Great education. Great college vibe and social scene. LOVED it.

Why wouldn’t they come home for Thanksgiving? My kid in CA comes home very Thanksgiving and Christmas??
