Rady School of Management at UC San Diego

Student Life

San Diego is a great place to study—and a great place to live. The university, research institutions and innovative business community have become a magnet for attracting smart, talented, successful people to the region.

As California's second-largest city (after Los Angeles), San Diego has the resources and diversity of a major metropolitan area—and it has a feel of community, with distinctive neighborhoods and a strong civic sense.

On campus and off, Rady MBAs are meeting people, creating networks and friendships and participating in the life of a vibrant city.

Where Rady MBAs have been:

  • Playing intramural soccer on campus
  • Organizing surfing lessons (surfing is "the new golf" for the San Diego biotechnology community)
  • Holding "Dumpling Day" at Rady in honor of the Chinese New Year
  • At the beach for an end-of-year potluck
  • Participating in an all-San Diego MBA mixer
  • At the opera for San Diego Opera's annual High Tech Night (student tickets subsidized by a Rady supporter)
  • At restaurants around campus for regular happy hours
  • Organizing a food drive for the San Diego Food Bank
  • Playing golf—and organizing an annual golf tournament for students and alumni
