Favorite Place on Campus: Turtle Pond – It's one of the most tranquil places on campus. I love the turtles and Koi fish. It was one of my favorite places to study when I was a student here!
Favorite Campus Eatery: Which Wich Superior Sandwiches – I love a good sandwich! It's also a great place to go meet up before a basketball game at Viejas Arena!
Favorite San Diego Attraction: Balboa Park – It's one of the most beautiful places in San Diego. It has a rich history with free events going on all the time and is home to the world famous San Diego Zoo.

Favorite Place on Campus: Aztec Lanes! Our on-campus bowling alley is an awesome place to go hang out with friends between classes. Students also get two free games every day! I got into bowling through the two free games and by taking bowling for class credit. It is definitely a great way to pick up a new hobby and take a break from your class schedule!
Favorite Campus Eatery: Olive Oil has the best paninis on campus! It is located in Ellen Ochoa Pavilion near the Koi and turtle pond at Scripps Cottage, so you can enjoy your food with an amazing view.
Favorite San Diego Attraction: I am a huge fan of Old Town San Diego! There is so much rich history of the city that you can take in, amazing restaurants, and all kinds of fun shops. One shop even allows you to make your own candles!

Favorite Place on Campus: The Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union. It is a central spot on campus and a great place to soak up the San Diego sun, get homework done, get something to eat, meet up with friends, and enjoy all of the different events that take place there.
Favorite Campus Eatery: ShakeSmart! Everything on their menu is good, but my favorite is the PB&A Bowl. It is a delicious snack or post-gym treat. How can you go wrong with an acai bowl in California?
Favorite San Diego Attraction: Mission Bay Aquatic Center. When I was a student, I took kayaking and wakeboarding as for-credit classes. They were such fun breaks in my class schedule and allowed me to go over towards the beach at least once a week. It's also a great sunset location!

Favorite Place on Campus: The Aztec Aquaplex. The two outdoor heated pools are great for exercise while the spa has come in handy for rest/recovery and relaxation. They offer a variety of classes, sports and wellness activities.
Favorite Campus Eatery: L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. My favorite plate is the Chicken Katsu!
Favorite San Diego Attraction: Balboa Park. If you're looking for culture and nature, this is the place for you. I love the Japanese Friendship Garden, it's so beautiful and peaceful. There are 17 museums, multiple performing arts venues, trails, and many other creative and recreational attractions. There is no shortage of things to see and do.
