San Diego: FAQs

The school is actually in the city centre. You'll find a map on the San Diego local information page.

Please see our San Diego Accommodation section for full details. Homestays are a maximum of 60 minutes away by public transport. The J street Inn is 15-20 minutes' walk away.

All our schools have wireless internet access which is free and unlimited. Students can also use the school computers for free all day (07.30 to 17.00 Monday to Friday), but may have to wait during busy times.

The J Street Inn has wireless internet access in the lobby and study room.

Homestays differ, and we cannot guarantee internet access. Please mention at the time of booking if it is important to you, and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.

Please see our San Diego photo gallery and San Diego photobook. If you would like to see more photos, just contact us. We can email you pictures that will help you to imagine life at Embassy San Diego a bit more clearly.

The school itself is central and easily accessible by public transport, and our Activities programme will take you to many surrounding places, so we'd recommend that a car is not essential. However, many students do have cars, and we can advise you on car hire if required.

Note that the legal age for driving varies from state to state in the USA. In general if you are over 18 you should be able to drive, although many hire companies will not rent cars to those under 25. If you do hire a car, the rental office should be able to tell you of any driving laws particular to the state you are in. Read more useful information on Student Club.

Free parking is about a 10-15 minute walk from the school, or there are paid parking facilities nearby, which range from US $10-20 per day.
