Anyone in San Diego there s a similar place called MakerPlace!

They do student discounts on membership and is so totally worth it. We (3647) built our robot out of that shop, with full cnc mill lathe laser access it was heavenly.
The classes are a bit expensive $40 for the basic classes, $50-60 for the more advanced. But it's a great way to learn the machine if you have never done so, and the teachers are all pretty legit.
/Btw they don't pay me
