Welcome to Palomar College in San Marcos CA. This will provide some general information regarding your teaching assignment in the San Diego area. You will receive a detailed letter, specific to your course and class dates.

Transportation

San Diego International Airport, Lindbergh Field (SAN) is the usual arrival point. You will need to rent a car at the airport; there are many choices on site with free shuttle service to the lots. Reserve your car early, San Diego is a popular tourist destination. Another option would be to fly to McClellan-Palomar Airport via commuter plane from LAX. United Express has many daily flights, Monday through Friday.

Getting Here

There are two routes to take to get to Palomar College from the airport. On a Friday afternoon traffic will be very heavy on each of the routes. One option is to take I-5N to 78 E. From 78E. exit Las Posas Road and head north. Turn right onto West Mission Road, Palomar College is on the left. You may also take 163N to 15N to 78W, exit Las Posas Road, turn right, go to West Mission and turn right; Palomar College will be on the left. To get to the office and classroom, in the Natural Science Building (NS) go past the main entrance to the college and take the next left, Comet Circle. This is a one way street and the NS building is at the top of the hill. There is plenty available parking directly across from the building.

Lodging

San Diego is a very expensive location and the hotels rate can be extremely high, especially in the summer months. The current SIU reimbursable rate is $110.00 plus tax. We are unable to negotiate a constant rate with the local hotels. We suggest you check the Internet at www.lowfares.com, www.Hotelsonline.com, www.hotels.com, www.Travelocity.com, and/or www.Orbitz.com; each provides comparative hotel prices for the San Diego area. The best rates will probably be found on the inland corridor, along I-15. One particularly useful site is http://www.Metrotravelguide.com. If you choose Carlsbad as a city of choice you will be able to access hotels close to Palomar College. Listed below are just a few of the hotels found at these sites.
