Directions/Campus Parking
If you arrive by car, here are directions to the conference hotels in Old Town. From I-5 south, take the Old Town exit making a left at the stop sign at the end of the ramp. At the first light (Moore Street) turn left, then right onto Arista. The Holiday Inn is on your left; the Western Inn on your right.
To reach the USD campus from the conference hotels (about 2 km), take Jefferson north turning right on Conde St. and left onto Congress St. (which becomes San Diego Avenue as you pass the Old Town Transit Center), then right onto Taylor Street and left again on Morena Blvd.* After crossing the bridge, veer right onto Linda Vista Road. At the second light make a left to enter the USD campus and proceed up the hill.
Permits to park on the USD campus are required, but are available at no charge from the kiosk as you enter the campus.
Just retrace your route to return to your hotel in Old Town.
To Reach the USD campus from the major freeways, we suggest:
Approaching from the south: Take I-5 north to the I-8 connector, exiting off the Morena Blvd. before merging onto I-8. After crossing the bridge, veer right onto Linda Vista Road. At the second light make a left to enter the USD campus and proceed up hill.
Approaching from the east: Take I-8 west, exiting at the Morena Blvd. After crossing the bridge veer right onto Linda Vista Road. At the second light make a left to enter the USD campus and proceed up the hill.
Approaching from the north: Take I-5 south, exiting at Tecolote Drive/Sea World Drive. At the end of the ramp make a right, then a right at the next light onto W. Morean Blvd. Then make a left onto Napa Street, and then the next left onto Linda Vista Road. At the next light, make a left to enter the USD campus.
Permits to park on the USD campus are required WEEKDAYS ONLY, but are available at no charge at the kiosk at the campus entrance. You may ask the attendant for directions to the the University Center (banquet site) and/or the Manchester Conference Center (location of the sessions).
*An alternative route to reach USD campus from the conference hotels is to take Moore Street north onto the I-5/I-8 freeway connector, taking the eastbound I-8 ramp, exiting at Morena Blvd. and proceeding as above. To return to your hotel take the I-5 southbound connector from Morena Blvd. exiting at Old Town. Make a left at the stop sign at the end of the ramp. At the first light (Moore Street) turn left, then right onto Arista. In either direction you NEVER merge onto the freeways, just stay in the connector and exit/entrance ramps!
