I attended a conference on this campus several months ago. The facilities were state-of -the-art and the campus grounds were lovely. My son graduated from UCSD over 10 years ago and there have been many additional improvements since.

I was invited to a party at the Village dorms at UCSD. I was surprised by how nice the dorms were. The party was great, and what makes a party fun is the people. UCSD is full of fun people. Great unwind time after the stress and pressures of finals.

Attended my Grandson's graduation at the Jenny Craig Pavillion at the UCSD campus. The campus area was beautiful and this, coupled with the joyeous occasion, made the trip to San Diego even more enjoyable while sharing the event with friends and family.

One of the best campuses in the best public university system in the world. The Sciences and Engineering are as good as any Ivy League school.

What can I say expect this was the best school to attend ever. I watched buffed surfers dudes scamper down Torrey Pines Cliffs each morning from my French class. Tres bien! The entre campus is awesome. The town, La Jolla, is terrific too and soooo close to the beach you could smell it from class. Ahhhhh...what great memories of UCSD... More

This campus is a great blend of the modern and traditional college landscaping. The library is unique and looks like a large fist. The grounds are spacious. It may take awhile to walk between buildings.

Attended USD in the 60s and still love to go back for reunions and visits all the time. It is one of the most beautiful universities in the country.

I was there on business but I did notice that there are a lot of facilities for the students and staff there. A very large selection of food outlets of all varieties.
