Four years at USD will fly by quickly, and toward the end, many students find themselves dreading leaving the leisurely world of USD to go out into the “real world.” All universities have their ups and downs, but USD definitely has more ups. When you ask USD students, most will say they love almost everything about the University, except for a few minor things, like strictness. Professors here go out of their way to help students succeed, and the small campus makes networking and forming relationships easier—by the time you graduate, you will have close relationships with faculty and other students. Many look back on their years at USD and feel nostalgic for the laid-back lifestyle they once had, and when reality hits, it’s easy to wish you were back at USD, spending every weekend at the beach. Life in San Diego is unlike living in other cities, and some freshmen may have a hard time adjusting at first. Everything is slower and more laid-back here, and you need to be able to balance serious schoolwork with the fun aspects of the city. San Diego can be a definite distraction! Another complaint is that people on campus can be "cliquey," so it can be hard to break into established friend groups, but once you get a close group of friends of your own, you will form so many great memories. And when you tell your friends from back home that you can go to the beach in January, they will look at USD—and you—with envy. Overall, few regret their time at USD because it’s the best of both worlds: quality education and a fun city. San Diego Student ReviewsWhat's This?Filter:

USD Atmosphere
B+
Balboa Park and downtown have some great attractions. Nightlife can be a little challenging for the <21 crowd. |

The computer labs are great. All the latest computers (both mac and pc). i never had a problem with the wireless. printing is easy but i'd recommend bringing your own printer just in case. |

Ignore the Stupid Rankings
B+
Regardless of what the Princeton Review says, USD will give you a better educational experience than most colleges. Class sizes are purposefully small, and the professor will actually know your name. This is for the most part a good thing but could be bad if you don't show up and the best classes fill up quickly. There are not going to be TA's leading discussions so you get a one on one experience if you go in for help during office hours. |
