San Diego

Is there such a thing as the per– fect place to be? Many believe that the city of San Diego comes very close to perfection. From its sunny days and cool breezes to the sandy beaches along the coast, San Diego offers outdoor adventures through– out the year. When living in San Diego it is inevitable that the out– doors will become a daily routine. Students can be found riding the rollercoaster at Mission Beach or rollerblading on the boardwalk at Mission Beach, PB, or OB. The sunset is beautiful from any loca– tion in San Diego. Mt. Soledad of– fers a panoramic view of the city and the sunset. In Del Mar, one can see the sunset from the heights of a hot air balloon. Fresh air and a clean ocean breeze make San Diego a great outdoor getaway. There are many tourist attrac– tions throughout San Diego that USD students enjoy as part of daily life. From West Point field on cam– pus, students can watch fireworks from SeaWorld, one of San Diego's most recognized attractions. Many students buy passes for $20 to the World Famous San Diego Zoo or cruise around Balboa Park's many museums. Downtown offers a vari– ety of restaurants such as the Spa– ghetti Factory or Planet Hollywood in the Gaslamp District, or shop– ping at Horton Plaza. La Jolla of– fers a pleasant beachside city to en– joy shopping and dining in an ele– gant style. A short drive over one of the world's biggest bridges re– sults in the tranquility of Coro– nado Island which is where the Ho– tel Del Coronado is found. Seaport Village can also be a relaxing pas– time for USD students. All in all, San Diego, though fifth largest city in the United States is much like a small community. It is a town where everyone wants to be your neighbor.
