Below are some suggested itineraries for touring the major college
campuses
in Southern California during April Spring Break. It assumes the most
important
campuses to see are UCSB, UCLA, USC, and UCSD, with UCI and Cal Poly
SLO
as options. The itineraries are based on when these campuses are open
for
guided tours. Self-guided tours of other nearby campuses can be taken
at
other times. (Note: this itinerary was originally created for spring
2001. Check the campus websites for the latest tour times.)
This tour takes advantage of the fact that UCSD has Saturday tours. It
allows including Cal Poly SLO. The USC and UCLA tours can be swapped,
in
order to take the "Meet USC" tour offered only on Wednesday. The drive
back from San Diego is a long drive back to the Bay Area.
Slow way south:
This puts the long drive to San Diego at the start of the trip. It can
be done on Saturday to spend more time touring San Diego or breaking up
the drive into 2 pieces. The trip home from UCSB to San Jose is about 4
1/2 to 5 hours.
Slow way north:
These alternatives break up the trip into shorter segments to reduce
the
long drives. The first includes Cal Poly. The second includes UCI.
