University of San Diego is an excellent school with overall good faculty and resources. Great location, close relationships with professors, easy integration, lots of opportunities for growth. The classes are hard, but many available office hours and free tutoring helps students succeed in rigorous courses.

Good academics and professors. I loved the small school aspect of the campus. The student body is overall very conservative and wealthy. Being small sized this even further limits my odds of finding my tribe.

Everyone I have met and dealt with so far has been a knowledgable professional and super friendly and helpful.I love the sense of community that comes with this size of school. The campus is absolutely gorgeous with attention paid to the smallest details. Everything seems to be engineered toward giving students the best experience possible. The location is in the heart of San Diego and the views are beautiful. It's 10 minutes from the beach and there is so much to do that you don't even want to stay on campus, gorgeous as it is. The professors are all great and care about their students. And due to small class sizes, you get a lot of individual attention to ensure your success.

The University of San Diego has excellent staff that strives to accommodate to all academic needs.The staff are also very helpful and passionate about helping their students. I also appreciate how it is military friendly with their decision to offer the yellow ribbon program for all of their veteran students so our GI bill benefits are able to cover full tuition. I am attending the graduate program to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner and they effectively prepare us for clinicals by hiring actors to simulate patients. They also guarantee finding us preceptors.

I like the University of San Diego because the counselors are very supportive during the entire college process. This school is in need of some diversity and for me it was difficult to connect to others due to differing social and class status. However, students are still very nice and most professors do genuinely care and are good at their jobs (just make sure you look at rate my professor).

My experience with USD was amazing. The campus life was nice easy to commute with a bike. The dorms where decent I really liked the library because of the quietness that it provides.

I love the class sizes at USD, that is on of the main reasons I wanted to attend. The academics are very strong, the professors are great and take a genuine interest in their students. Furthermore, since the school is smaller than most there is a more friendlier atmosphere which makes people feel more at home. Academics on campus are very diverse and are engaging, the biggest class I have had is 40 people and the smallest has been 5. The food is ranked in the top 20 for best food on a college campus. The campus is ranked most beautiful campus in the U.S. There is a beautiful outdoor pool, which is not used as much as one might think. There are over 100 clubs and it is easy enough to start a new one if you want. The dorms are very nice and get even better as you become an upperclassmen. Of course, anywhere you go will have some problems. For me, the social initiatives were a little disappointing. Even though this school is more socially aware than most, their actions do not always match up with their self-proclaimed "changemaker" attitude. In many cases, the marginalized students are forced to do the work and the educating. This can become tiring as fighting for space and validation is hard work and often not welcomed by white students (many of whom are wealthy).

The University of San Diego (USD) is a very diverse and inclusive school that welcomes all students no matter their background, ethnicity, race, or religion. My overall experience at USD has been one of the best. Although it is a smaller school, it feels like you're meeting different people everyday. I'm glad that I chose this university to go to.

Mia S., Current Student

Its a great location, small class sizes, and fantastic faculty, but with a very expensive tuition. Although it is a smaller school, it feels like you're meeting different people everyday. Along with that though, is easy access to administration as far as advisers, one on one with professors, and things like that.

Amazing education and even better location, I love the University of San Diego, it has given me some of my best friends and helped me figure out who I am. Coming from Minnesota, I love the San Diego culture and vibe that I feel when I am out there. I couldn't recommend this school more to anyone else looking for a great place to go to school.
