About UC San Diego

We host our summer computer camps in CA and San Diego because U.S. News and World Report ranks UCSD as the 7th best public university in the nation. UCSD is a powerful magnet for those seeking a fresh, next-generation approach to education and research. UCSD boasts five Nobel Laureates on its faculty, and has one of the nation’s highest percentages of faculty elected to the prestigious national academies.

Nestled along the Pacific coastline, La Jolla, California is called “The Best Place to Live in America” by the Robb Report. At UCSD, sculptures and famous modern architecture can be seen throughout the campus. San Diego International Airport is located 15 miles, or approximately a 25 minute drive, from campus.
