Notes:

San Diego State University is a campus of 30,000+ students just east of downtown San Diego. San Diego is a city that is diverse in population, culture, and activity. It truly is America's Finest City — beaches, a range of outdoor activities, a great downtown Gaslamp, great restaurants, many diverse communities, wonderful churches, energetic young adult culture, and a multitude of opportunities. Housing on or near campus can be expensive, but in the surrounding communities, it becomes more manageable. Young adults and students often live with roommates to lower monthly expenses. Young Life College at SDSU is a thriving and healthy ministry with the hope of building relationships with every student we meet and partnering with campus ministries so that 30,000 students have the opportunity to meet Jesus and participate in His Kingdom here on earth.

In the last four years, we have helped launch three full-time Young Life College directors. You could be next!
