Girls Are Hot, Guys Vary

It is said that people from Stanford University and other local colleges come to Santa Clara because the girls are much better looking than the girls at their own schools. However, guys wise, the ratings can vary. There is no one incredibly good looking, and no one incredibly ugly.

The Future Looks Promising

The freshmen dorms at Santa Clara University aren't great; however, several are being renovated. If I had to choose, I'd say Campisi is the best overall. In terms of location, Graham is the best, located right in the heart of campus.
