Mission Santa Clara de Asis
Inspired by its Jesuit roots, Santa Clara's mission to educate the whole person by engaging the mind, body, and spirit encourages its students to maintain a healthy balance between work and play. Santa Clara's diverse academic, extracurricular, and community service opportunities make it easy for students to do what they love and to tailor their SCU experience accordingly. Though many students initially have a tough time adjusting (typical for most college freshmen), taking advantage of the resources provided by the strong campus community can help make the transition process easier. Thriving at Santa Clara requires finding your niche, which can take awhile, but is worth it once you do.
Most students cite weather, location, and academics as Santa Clara's greatest strengths, and they appreciate the active and supportive community on campus. While many students agree that they would change certain aspects of the school if they could (the cost of tuition taking priority), most feel pretty satisfied with their Santa Clara experience.

If You Have a Car...
There are plenty of spaces on campus or near by to park your car. It's not necessary to buy a parking permit, and your car is very safe in the area.

The Same!
It's said that SCU has athletic, good-looking students but in my opinion everyone looks the same! Same hair styles, outfits, shoes, etc. Nothing special, and nothing unique.
On-Campus Computers
There are many computer labs in the library where you can print using printer points, that are provided each year by SCU. Technology on campus is amazing!

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process. Because you can't make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who write, edit, and survey their peers for every guide that we publish.
