I loved going to USD.  The campus is beautiful and very safe, I felt fine walking home from the library at midnight by myself.  It is a small campus, there isn't much walking to do.  Clubs and sports are not that big, there are a few big basketball games, but that's it.  There aren't really any parties on campus or things to walk to from the campus.  However the beach is a 5 minute ride away.  I would say 90% of USD juniors/seniors live in mission beach.  You'll be surrounded by other USD students and have the chance to live right on the ocean (ride your bike up and down the beach walk).  Garnet street in Pacific Beach has bars on both sides for about a mile long (the age of everyone here is 21-23); there's no place in the country like it, you can walk to different bars for dancing/drinking whatever.  Also, you can make the 15 min drive downtown for more upscale (little bit older crowd) nightlife.  So even though there's not much to do directly on campus, there's so much to do in MB/PB, it's the best.  USD is the university of spoiled daughters, the girls are very pretty, blonde, and wear everything designer.  I'm from the northeast and middle class - you just have to realize that boys don't care who made your shoes, just be fun and nice.  It is not diverse.  In general most people in san diego are good looking.  Also, it will seem like you know everyone that goes to USD, your classes will be filled with people you know.  Greek life isn't that important, but it is easier to make friends and I would suggest it.  Class sizes are small, your teacher will know you by name, but it is a liberal arts education (you take a lot of classes in everything no matter what your major).  They didn't help me to get a job after graduation, so I would suggest joining a group say accounting or real estate and start asking the people/teachers in charge of that to help you find a job early.  All the teachers are very nice, when I asked for recommendations they were very willing to do so.  Most people are pretty smart here.  Compared to USD: SDSU is a party school, has a lot bigger campus (less safe though),people live around that campus and not at the beach so much, and there's big greek life at state - it seems like the majority of USD is upper class, while the majority of state is not.  UCSD is known for well asians, and you don't really meet many people from UCSD.  Oh also a lot of people study abroad at USD, during the fall semester junior yr and also during intersession.  I know that a lot of people made good friends through their travels.  any questions ask

questionHi, I'm also from the Northeast and I'm considering transferring to USD. Any advice in making the transition process much easier? Which frats are good to join to be a part ofa social scene
 
questionHi!! I read your review and it really got my attention! I'm a student from Italy and my top choices are USD and Parsons(in NYC). I wanna go into business/management. How was finding a job after college? This is something that is fundamental to me, since the school is expensive and I don't want my parents to waste their money. Also, do they make internships mandatory during your college years? This is something that's really important at Parsons so I'd like to know something about it as well! Talk to you soon! Thank you, Carolina.
