Point Loma is the type of college for a student who wants to live in a Christian atmosphere, but is still very serious and wants to be academically challenged. Here, there is a heavy load of GE courses; possibly more than most schools. The science classes here are great, but unfortunately, the impressive lab at Foothill spoiled me.  Academically, Foothill has prepared me really well for college

The people here are so friendly! Everyone at Point Loma dresses really well and it’s fun to see all the different looks. The professors are great, and I have learned so much in my classes. A ton of activities are available right here on campus, which are convenient considering most freshmen don’t have a car. On the weekends, an off-campus shuttle takes students to various places in San Diego. Being in San Diego is my favorite part; it is such an awesome city! Even though Point Loma is in a residential area, it is easy to take a trolley or bus to literally anywhere in San Diego.

Mental health is the thread that weaves through every facet of daily life, often overlooked – until it frays, that is. A weight that shifts with the seasons of our lives, sometimes light, other times unbearably heavy. Invisible, and yet it colors the way we see the world and the way we perceive ourselves. It is the foundation of our thoughts, emotions and behavior, influencing everything from how we cope with stress to how we celebrate joy. This May, help create an environment where mental health is valued and addressed with the same urgency as physical health by embracing self-care and seeking support.

All across the coast of California, large masses of blue creatures resembling jellyfish are washing up onshore. These are not in fact jellyfish but Velella velella, or commonly referred to as "by-the-wind sailors." With the arrival of spring and the changing of wind patterns and currents, velella wash up on shore all over our local beaches.

Where do monsters come from? Where did these urban legends originate, and how have they changed? Whether they reside in the shadows in your closet or under the bed, monsters were made for a reason. They were made to teach lessons and cope with things that were hard to understand at the time. Parents would tell stories of their untrue nature to protect their kids from real world threats. Even in the modern day when some of these previous questions have been answered, people still find comfort in horror movies and games.
What do the monsters we make tell us about ourselves?

The automobile industry has been a prevalent factor in American culture for a long time, resulting in the sprawling expanse of roads covering the country. With cities planned in the image of cars, pedestrians face significant dangers traveling without one in various places all across the country. The busy metropolis was the model from years ago, one that has since become outdated and requires a replacement. With future adaptation towards more urban settings, the importance of cars is downsized. These urban settings will put the pedestrian first, aimed at providing safer human interactions without the threat of an accident lurking at every corner.
