Student Opinions About Studying in San Diego

“Something you come to realise living in San Diego is that there’s not really four seasons. The range of weather tends to stay more or less the same all year round. This is good for those who like predictable, stable weather, but it may not be the right place for winter sport enthusiasts.”

“San Diego gets a little bit congested with traffic at times, so my main recommendation for those thinking about moving here is to learn to ride a scooter or a motorcycle, because it makes getting around so much easier here, and you’ll actually be able to park somewhere decent when you get to your destination.”

“This is a wonderful city if you’re the kind of person who likes to use a bike to get around, and visit parks and spend time on the beach. The distribution is pretty spread out, so don’t expect to just be able to walk somewhere 99% of the time.”
