Tink1717 2 #1 November 9, 2006 So, I'm thinking of going to SDSU. Has anyone been there or know how good a place it is? Also, what's the jump scene like out there? I've been on skydive San Diego's web site and it seems cool. But what about those santa anna winds and the weather in general for jumping? I hear that the weather in the are is generally good, but that is from whuffos who don't generally what good weather is vs good weather for jumping. So, fellow jumpers, what's it really like out there?Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

guppie01 0 #2 November 9, 2006 I've heard good things about SDSU... don't know personally. Skydive San Diego has very consistent weather for jumping - AWESOME place to jump, and if you get tired of the scenery you can always drive a lil over an hour to Elsinore / Perris. Good luck!!!! g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?" Raddest Ho this side of Jersey #1 - MISS YOU OMG, is she okay?

SmilingPhoenix 0 #5 November 10, 2006 I used to work at SDSU, it is a good school and the libraries are awesome. What program are you going into. I worked at the school for International Relations and Pacific Studies - their medical program is great - and so is their robotics lab. As for San Diego, there is no better weather on the planet - beautiful all year round. I'm still beating myself up for ever leaving...Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!

legalart 0 #7 November 11, 2006 I am a graduate of SDSU. It used to have a rep as quite the party school. I have no idea, other than local news reports, what it's like these days, the stories though, are generally positive. The engineering, nursing, and counseling programs have always been highly rated. It has been overshadowed in town by the national recognition that UCSD has received. It is, (or was, I was there some time ago), a commuter school, which worked well for me as I had to work my way through school and graduated when, (what I considered at the time the ancient age of 24). San Diego is a damn expensive place to live, so consider that in your decision. Both the campus and San Diego are beautiful (think no humidity). My favorite taunt to both my in-laws and my children when they bitch about the weather where they live is -- 72 and sunny, generally the daily forecast. And no I wasn't an English major so, my over-use of commas and lack of coherent writing is no reflection on the school or the two lower division english classes I took. As to DZs ask the experienced jumpers for that info but three major otter DZ's within 1 hour drive should fill the bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
