Student Life

Southern California has long been a popular destination for new college students looking to enjoy the surf and sand as part of their college experience.

The start of the holiday season means the countdown to the end of the fall semester for San Diego State University students.

Knowing where to grab your next meal isn’t a usual concern for most incoming college students, but it quickly becomes one while adjusting to life at college.

As students start another semester, many new and returning students find themselves looking to explore the social and student organizations that play a vital role in fostering a unique college experience.

With students returning to campus this month, many first-year students are experiencing life on a college campus for the first time.

Of all the priorities you have for your college experience – gaining the skills that will help you land a fulfilling job after graduation, forging friendships that can last a lifetime, exploring your personal interests – “not going into crushing debt” is probably pretty high on your list.

Los Angeles may get all the press because of Hollywood Street, but on the low, San Diego is the real Hollywood.

“University students are broke” is a classic stereotype. But is it just a stereotype?

The end of high school is glorious. But the transition also ushers in two panic seasons –one in the fall when you have to choose the university you want to apply to and in the early spring when you have to make the final decision.

Where you choose to live while in school can have a huge impact on your college experience; the right student living arrangement can make it easier to study, make friends and enjoy this exciting period in your life, while the wrong living set-up can make every aspect of college harder.
