I had been to Palomar College Myself and also attended Sand Diego State University for classes there but didn't know about CSU San Marcos. Of course it is true that I went to Palomar college from around 1971 to 1973 too and left the San Diego County area for Mt. Shasta and then Hawaii on the big island with my young wife then in 1974 too. So, by 1976 I never lived in San Diego County ever again at that point in my life or since.
So, it is. now 50 years later since then. Hard to believe because in some ways it seems yesterday when I was going to college there and both my parents were still alive. Dad died in 1985 and Mom in 2008. So, even my Mom now has been gone almost 20 years at this point and my wife's father died that same year.
However, one of my children lives in San Diego County with her family and they own a home there too.
Anyway, Palomar College is north of Highway 78 in between Escondido and Oceanside in San Marcos and California State University San Marcos is south of Highway 78 at around the same area as Palomar College. So, they must have given some thought to this because likely Palomar College would be a feeder college to CSU San Marcos too.
Palomar College was likely the best College experience of my life for those two years and partly because I went there I'm still alive today because I came to understand both myself and the world enough to decide to stay alive through my 20s all the way to 78 years old now.
By God's Grace
So, Thank you to Palomar College for help saving my young life then from 1971 to 1973. And my girlfriend there Glendi was wonderful then too. Hope she is still alive somewhere now and happy.
