Public Transportation

Students who don’t have a car on campus are usually able to find rides with other students, whether to explore San Diego, go shopping, or get to the airport. Students normally walk, bike, or skateboard between campus and student housing.

San Diego also has great public transportation options available. The Escondido Transit Center is located 0.6 miles from campus, and is a hub for both bus and train service. Bus stops are also located near campus and the student apartments.
