Cristopher Gavalis: University of San Deigo is private and church affiliated. (Roman Catholic Church). It will cost you about 40,000 to go there. San Diego State is public and at lot cheaper. You'll pay about 16,300 to go there. That's out of state tuition at San Diego. So if you're trying to save money, go with SDSU, because you'll be paying a lot less. SDSU has a much lower acceptance rate though, about 20% lower than University of San Diego. (50%).
Melina Minneweather: The Aztec Recreation Center (ARC)Category: Active Life Fitness & Instruction Fitness & Instruction San Diego State University55th StSan Diego, CA 92182Neighborhood: RolandoHours:Mon-Thu 12 am - 12 amFri 12 am - 10 pmSat 8 am - 10 pmSun 8 am - 12 amThe ARC is a great way to get fit! Tons of cardio equipment, two huge weightlifting areas, and an array of classes offered in two big studios. They've also got basketball courts, and tennis courts, not to mention the huge Aquaplex across the street, which! is included in your membership fees. But the best part is their short-term contracts -- only a 4-month minimum, then you can cancel at any time after that. The staff is super friendly and always very helpful, and they keep the place sparkling clean! Such a refresher from the dingy Bally's in Mission Valley I used to belong to.If I had to pick something that isn't so great, it's probably that since I work full-time, I end up going after work around 5ish, and it's hoppin' with people. So the machines sometimes have a wait time, and the classes at that time tend to fill up pretty quick. But that's expected with any gym, really. And it's not like you have to wait for hours -- a few minutes, at most.I highly, highly recommend the ARC. Even for non-students, the prices and minimal contract obligations are very attractive, and once you start going you'll be hooked. Get a move on!...Show more
