The address for Southwestern College is 900 Otay Lakes Rd. Chula
Vista, (not L Street).
It is south on 805 to H street, go East on H street four miles or so
until you hit Otay Lakes Rd. Turn right and the second driveway goes
into the Center of campus. Room 214 is at the front of the campus.
Hope this helps.
