I have found my time at Santa Clara to be a fine educational experience. The professors often give their home number out to students and are always willing to give one-on-one coaching and help. Many business professors bring a lot of credibility to the table from their success in Silicon Valley and elsewhere. Sure, the tuition is pricey and there isn't a huge party life. What people don't tell you is that the food is quality (for college food) and the variety is nice (more than just burgers and fries). The campus aesthetics are amazing…it truly is a nice bubble to stay in. People are friendly yet lean toward cliques, but I'm sure other schools are the same. The intramural sports are always competitive and fun and some day the basketball team will beat Gonzaga. Soon, there will be a brand new Library to go along with the new baseball field. SCU offers students good on-campus living conditions and slick facilities for working out and studying. You DO get what you pay for. Yes, there are a few teachers that are not the greatest, but that is part of college in general. As well, through the career center and other professors, I have been able to successfully network and get internship interview that have been helpful. The U-grad business school is good. I highly recommend a visit to the school so you can get a feel for the campus environment.
