ON CAMPUS — Stairwells have always been notoriously useful for indulging the mood — along with elevators and deserted lobbies — but Mandeville’s acid-trip graffiti stairs might as well have been created solely for the sport.

OFF CAMPUS — After school, climb La Jolla Scenic Drive to LOOK-OUT
POINT, Mt. Soledad’s sweepingly idyllic view of the city. From up here,
San Diego seems more like an enchanted starscape, with thousands of
pinpoints illuminating the city’s mass infrastructure and sloping
hills. It’s impossible not to feel sappily inclined to cuddle under a
clear night sky — the peak’s natural high is ideal for cheap dates and
anniversaries alike.
