I can’t speak to your specific program but I did go to UCSD for undergrad and can confirm the location is amazing, if you have any questions about the school in general I’d be happy to answer them!
Hi and thank you for your comment!
From your experience in San Diego, is it possible to live without cars?
I'm a bit worried because I will only be studying for one year and I'm not sure if I can buy a car for that short of a period

I'm in a similar boat choosing between UCSD and SAIS. I've more or less decided on UCSD because of their generous funding offer versus SAIS offering nothing. If money isn't a problem I would go with SAIS if I were you. It's the most elite institution of the four with the best networks. Although I'm not as familiar with these schools' one year programs as I am with the two MA programs.
It might depend on what you want to end up doing after graduating. They all have different reputations for what their alumni focus on.
weimala,
Congrats! and thank you for the advice!
I work in the public sector and I will go back after I graduate. Most of the people I work with are Fletcher or SAIS alumni. What are UCSD alumni focused on?

Hi! I got accepted to the following programs (all one year) and I can't decide!
1. Master of Arts (MA), The Fletcher School, Tufts University
2. Master of International Public Policy (MIPP), SAIS, Johns Hopkins University
3. Master of Advanced Studies in International Affairs (MAS-IA), GPS, UCSD
4. MSc International Strategy and Diplomacy, LSE
My interests are IR, strategy, and security. When I consider location, I think UCSD is attractive but Fletcher and SAIS network are strong! LSE also has a very good program.
I don't have to worry about scholarships because my workplace is going to pay for them. I would appreciate if I could get some advice!
