how far is it from stockton, california to san diego, california?

Answer 1

The time in the other answers is correct - I generally planned on it being 9 hours - tops. Another answerer had good information about the toll road to save time. I recommend taking Highway 99 instead of I-5 once you get over the grapevine (north of Los Angeles - you won't miss it). While it's officially still just a highway and not a freeway, most of the way it is three lanes each side instead of two on the I-5. There are a lot of smaller towns this route, and more gas stations (and lower gas prices). You'll find it less expensive to eat, have more choices, and usually fewer large trucks.

Answer 2

Pepperdine would be number two. The most beautiful, scenic campus imaginable, is UC Santa Cruz, built in the middle of a redwood forest, it is spectacular. From some buildings, you also have an ocean view (not too far to walk to from campus). Edit to Add: to Hyek re "Someone has also mentioned UCLA. And even though I think that it's a great school, I think it's in a crappy area, which is unsafe. And many people agree with me on this. " What are you talking about? UCLA is surrounded by $2 - $5 Million dollar homes and Westwood Village. Go 2 blocks north and the homes sell for $10 Million and more. Have you confused one of the the top schools in WORLD with USC (University of Spoiled Children) in South Central LA? -[UCLA, Class of 1971]

Answer 3

If you are driving, try to avoid arriving in Los Angeles during rush hour....or your trip will be much longer. If traveling down 405, there is a toll road that you can get on around Costa Mesa that joins up with Hwy. 5 south of the bottleneck where 405 and 5 joins. Take this route if traffic is heavy on the 405.

Answer 4

Mapquest puts the trip at 7 hours and about 450 miles.
