Santa Clara University, a private Jesuit school and also one of the oldest schools founded in California, is an extremely good university. The communities are very close to one another (RLCs Real Life Communities) and people are able to socialize pretty well at school. The education taught there is top notch although pricey (hey its a private school, what do you expect) and concerts held there are wicked awesome, Jimmy Eat World, Death Cab for Cutie, loads of DJs here and there. The campus is well decorated and belive it or not, it is a very clean community. more

My goal in highschool was to do everything in my power to get into the coveted Stanford University, as it was my parents dream, also. But, alas, it wasn't meant to be and my sorry self was shipped to my second choice, Santa Clara U. I have to admit that I had tunnel vision at the time when I was a freshman and did not see SCU for the splendor that it was. I eventually grew to love it. Who wouldn't appreciate the beautiful campus fit for the Pulp. The gardens are breath-taking. What got me most attached was the dedication and commitment of the professors. The tuition was worth every penny, I never felt more cared for in a school environment. The professors treated me like family and were always open to rearranging schedules to ease the burden on students that were overloaded by work or projects. more
