Known for its near-idyllic climate, 70 miles of pristine
beaches and dazzling array of world-class family
attractions, San Diego is the sixth-largest city in the
United States, and the southern-most major metropolitan area
in California. The city lies 125 miles south of Los Angeles
and 500 miles south of San Francisco. California College San
Diego's campus is conveniently located in the midst of
Mission Valley, a bustling center for business and tourism.
 The
San Diego region is becoming one of the most diversified and
innovative regional economies in the country. San Diego's
leaders made a commitment in the 1980s to diversify the
economy and encourage the growth of technology companies. No
one could have predicted the success with which the region
has developed key industries. Developing in parallel - and
in today's technology environment, finding more and more
cross-fertilization opportunities — San Diego's core
industry sectors have become leading centers for
biotechnology, communications and software development.

 Supported by a business-friendly public sector, the San
Diego region's economy is recognized as one of the best for
starting a business or pursuing a career. In fact, Forbes
magazine ranked San Diego number one on its annual "Best
Places" list for 2002.
What makes the region thrive? Clearly, one of the world's
best climates is conducive to innovation and
entrepreneurship. Constant sunshine, the serenity of the
Pacific Ocean, and the ability to move from beach to
mountains to desert within a few hours provides ample
inspiration for the those who call San Diego home.
Most San Diegans regard the city's climate close to
perfect, and Holiday Magazine even voted San Diego "the only
area in the United States with perfect weather." The weather
is tempered by the Pacific Ocean, which results in
relatively cool summers and warm winters. Temperatures below
freezing are rare, while hot weather, 90 degrees and above,
is more frequent. Winter is considered the rainy season;
however, each winter month averages 1.5 inches of rainfall,
hardly enough to qualify for monsoons!
San Diego is considered one of the most desirable
year-round vacation spots in the nation, and is regularly
ranked in the top ten most popular destinations in the
continental United States for international visitors. As a
result, service industries have seen continued growth in
past years, specifically in areas such as dining, lodging,
shopping and recreation services. Major tourist attractions
include the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park,
SeaWorld San Diego and LEGOLAND California. To the south,
it's a whole different country, Mexico, featuring its own
cultural offerings in various towns along the border and
coastline, including Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada.
San Diego's arts and culture and culinary arts are making
a name for themselves, both nationally and internationally.
Balboa Park, the largest urban cultural park in the U.S.,
features 15 museums, numerous art galleries, beautiful
gardens,
the Tony Award-winning The Globe Theatres and the
world-famous San Diego Zoo. The region is also a breeding
ground for the hottest, new talents of culinary arts, who
prepare award-winning meals in many of the region's 6,400
eating establishments.
