Everything about College Area San Diego California totally explained
The
College Area is a neighborhood of the Mid-City region of
San Diego, California.
The College Area is dominated by
San Diego State University (SDSU), which was formerly San Diego State College and previous to that San Diego State Teachers College, which the area is still named after. The College Area is in the mid-city, and has many new stores and restaurants, as well as many canyons.
There is also an
Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in the area near Congregation Beth Jacob Orthodox Temple on College Avenue.
Geography
The college area lies on a plateau which overlooks
Interstate 8. The neighborhood's borders are defined by Fairmount Avenue/Montezuma Road/Collwood Boulevard to the Southwest, Interstate 8 to the North, 70th Street/Keeney Street to the East, and El Cajon Boulevard to the South.
Transportation
MTS (Metropolitan Transit System) operates the
San Diego Trolley to
SDSU and Alvarado Medical Center, both of which are in the College Area. The trolley station at SDSU, as well as a bus plaza, make up the SDSU Transit Center. Bus routes 11, 11A, 14, 936, 115 go to the Transit Center, to name a few. Transfers are made from the SDSU trolley subway station located at the Transit Center, underneath the bus plaza. Riders can go up to the bus plaza via elevator or stairs.
Traffic
Congested traffic is a consistent nuisance on College Avenue, a main street in the area. During the school year at SDSU,
freeway ramps are heavily backed up. Since the July 2005 connection of the San Diego Trolley to the SDSU on-campus underground station, congestion has subsided only marginally. The
Interstate 8 freeway that runs past the area to the north often gets congested during the week because of students and commuters.
Education
The college area is home to one traditional elementary school, two alternative K-8 schools, and SDSU.
