What our students said about San Diego
SD is a beautiful city with a strong identity. The weather is consistently mild and the party scene and leisure activities are great. Unfortunately, there are a lot of homeless people at the moment. Crime is also increasing dramatically in some neighbourhoods, you just have to be careful when you're out and about.

It's a great city to travel to but it's very expensive.
