What is it like to live in San Diego? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

San Diego is a amazing city that I would recommend visiting to anyone. The weather is almost as beautiful as the women and the people are very laid-back.

What is the student lifestyle like in San Diego?

The student lifestyle in San Diego depends heavily on what school you attend while here. If you are looking for a fun party school that is very American pie-esque than I would recommend San Diego State University. If you are coming to San Diego for serous studies, I would recommend UCSD.

How much does it cost to live in San Diego?

Living in San Diego varies from $400 to $900 a month depending on where you want to live.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in San Diego? Is there any advice you can give?

I would recommend moving into an apartment with a month by month lease until you get a feel for the city and find out where you really want to live. There are definitely parts of the city that are more boring than others. Anywhere near the beach should be a good start.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

San Diego is know for its delicious Mexican food due to the proximity to the boarder. Definitely ask for a "California burrito" while you are here. Any Mexican restaurant in San Diego will know what it is.

What places would you recommend visiting in San Diego?

Definitely check our Balboa Park while here. I would also obviously recommend visiting any of San Diego's beautiful beaches.

Is it good to eat out in San Diego? Can you tell us your favourite spots?

Any Mexican restaurant in Southern San Diego.

Is the nightlife good in San Diego? Where is good to go?

If you are over 21 and are looking for a fun night scene, head down to Pacific Beach or downtown. If you aren't 21 the best place to party would most likely be SDSU

What advice would you give future students heading to San Diego?

Be social and get as involved as possible. The city offers a lot to those willing to take it on.
