Overall, it has been somewhat of a mixed experience for me, however unfortunately the negatives outweigh the positives. positives: I have met a few (literally two or three) nice girl friends here that I have a lot in common with and really like. The campus is beautiful and San Diego is a fabulous city. Negatives: the social life is really bad. Yes, I do have a couple of nice friends- but it took a really long time for me to find them…for the most part, the girls at usd are very rude and stuck up. I am not going to lie, I come from an upper class, wealthy family and quite frankly, if these girls would give me the time of day I could give them a run for their money. However, maybe because I don't wear 20 pounds of makeup everyday, or don't go out and party every night, they all are pretty rude to me and act like they want nothing to do with me every time I try and reach out to them to be friends. Because the school is so small, you don't have many choices of people that you can be friends with here. Also, the super tough curriculum makes it hard to socialize when you are always so busy with school work. Greek life here is not big at all- and its stupid because if you don't have a 2.5 gpa then you can't rush anyways. And they are VERY strict about that policy. Academically, this school is more challenging than I thought it would be. I knew it would be hard, but I really thought that the teachers would help me more. Since the classes are so small, the teachers all have favorites who get special attention. It's one of those systems where if you don't make an effort to see them outside of class, they think you don't care and automatically give you a B instead of an A. Also, a lot of the teachers are really bad..and the math department at this school is notoriously horrible. I am a pretty smart student, I made A's in high school and scored high on my ACT/SAT's but for some reason (maybe it is my unhappiness here) I am not doing academically well at USD. I am on academic probation and so are a lot of other people I know at this school. It has put me in a tough position now because I am trying to transfer out to another school, but no other place wants to take me because they see I am on probation and assume I am not a good student. This isn't the case! I just don't like this school and am having a hard time here! it's so frustrating! I hope that this problem doesn't happen to any of you. Be wise and don't choose USD… |
