I feel you on the triviality of a two year school, but it's been six years since I've been in a true classroom environment and the prospect of cutting my teeth at a real school is a tiny bit intimidating. Your summations are noted and appreciated though.

As far as San Diego goes, the options are only as limited as your interests. For nightlife, hit up Pacific Beach and the Gaslamp district, not to mention the endless parade of music artists that will be coming through this summer. The many beaches are always a good time, although the pacific ocean tends to always be just a little bit colder than you'd like it to be. A very fun and under appreciated place is the laser tag place on Sports Arena Blvd. Oh, and if you have a long weekend and a little cash to blow, Las Vegas is only five hours away. That isn't to say that the casinos around the local area are bad, but Vegas is a bucket list event. I hope you enjoy your stay out here!
