There were no real hang-outs near campus; most "Cool" folks lived at the
beach, where the two main bar/hangouts for USD students were. The
Penant and the Beachcomber were the greek student hangout, which made it
hard for non-frat boys to get in. There were always fights there ea
weekend, some when SDSU and UCSD students tried to horn in on our
ladies, or vice versus, but there were always the local beach scum at
these bars too. Crime at the beach and walking out of the bars down
there was high, with stabbings and gang-related issues, cruising, etc.
The police presence eventually became quite heavy in the area, and it
became less fun for weeknights. All in all though, it was a beautiful
location and recreation was easy to find and access. Mexico/Tijuana is
20 min away by car or trolley too, which is where we spent every
Wednesday night freshman year.
