What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about my school is the lack of school involvement and spirit. We offer many sports and have well-funded sporting events, but a lack a fans in the stands. Students would prefer to go out and drink the night away, rather than attend a fun soccer game, or football game. Our men's basketball team is the only team students remotely support and even their games are slim in attendants. I admire the school spirit and fellowship of large schools compared to our small school, pathetic involvement.

What's unique about your campus?
The best thing about my school is that after you get past the hard adjustment you can truely find life-long friends. I know that the friends I make here are not just temporary until graduation. There are plenty of great people to bond with and many on-campus activities to find a diverse population of students. There is a club for just about anything, and if it does not exsist it is simple to start one yourself. Although the overall poplulation of the school is less diverse than I would hope, I have found a great group of friends.

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
I brag about the campus and location. The campus itself it one of the most beautiful I've seen. All of the architecture is done in a Spanish mission style. There are fountains everywhere. It's in San Diego which is close to the beach and is a city. There's always something to do.

Describe your favorite campus traditions.
I think the thing that the University of San Diego is best known for would have to be the beautiful campus, the great weather that San Diego gets year-round, and the sense of community that is felt on campus. Everyone at the University of San Diego is dedicated to help you no matter what their title at the school may be. Accademically however, I think we are best known for our law school and business school.

What are the academics like at your school?
One of the main reasons I chose USD was because of the academics. Because we are a small private school, we have small classes where everyone knows your name, including the teacher. Teachers are so helpful in class and outside, and many of them are willing to go get lunch and discuss a class project or a question that may be confusing. Other classmates are definitely willing to do the same as well. Students here are definitely academic oriented and know that we're here at college to get an education, so studying is important. There are a variety of majors/minors to choose from and if they don't have a specific program for you, you can either create one or get help from an advisor to find the best fit for you. I plan on majoring in Business, and have taken classes in the Business school already as a freshman. USD really prepares you and aids you into getting internships and jobs as soon as the student asks for help. We believe there is never a time too soon to start taking your future into your own hands.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
This is a great school if you love San Diego, a smaller-school feel, challenging classes, and getting involved. Because the school has under 10,000 students total, you will most likely know some people you pass as you walk across campus. Teachers will know your name, and you'll have more than one class with some of the same people. There's also a lot of support and encouragement when it comes to getting involved. Also, because of USD's location in San Diego, there is always stuff to do on campus. If you're considering USD, beware of the school spirit. Because the beach, downtown, and the mall are all a mere 10 minutes away, students are often drawn to other activities. Attendance at sports events are not incredible.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
The most popular student organization is probably either Greek Life or the sports clubs/teams. I rushed a sorority this year, but decided against it because of financial reasons. I have so many friends in all the sororites though and it really does give you a great chance to make friends, get involved and get connected socially. The students here take a while to break their shell and become friends with, but once they're your friend, they are a friend for life. People are nice here, something I was looking for in a college. On weekend, lots of people go down to the beach and just hang out in a house with some friends or head to downtown for dinner and a movie or to go dancing. Even though partying seems prominent on our campus, there are always events hosted by the school on the weekends for the non-partiers. Overall, the students pride themselves in the activities they are involved in and how it'll benefit them in the future with jobs and further education.

What's the Greek scene like?
I've been involved in Greek life for four years so I feel like I know the ends and outs of the system. Although our Greek life is only about 27{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the undergraduates, it seems that its presence is larger.
Most of the more-involved students on campus are part of Greek life, but by no means is there a ton of pressure to join a chapter. Once you are part of it, however, it's obvious that Greek people really only hang out with other Greek people. Obviously, this is a stereotype, but it's actually partially true.
I would encourage anyone who's interested in joining to go through the recruitment process before making any judgment calls. It's a small scene, but it's tons of fun and all of the parties (events) are usually Greek related.

Tell us about the sports scene on campus.
I wish I could say we are a school full of spirit, but frankly, we're not too motivated as a student body. That doesn't mean that our sports are horrible though -- our football team won the national league this year!! And our basketball team does very well and attracts a lot of fans, especially if it's a game against SDSU.
I attended a lot of sports games as a freshmen, but have since lost my passion. It seems that the university really tries to pep us up, but it never works :( And I can't honestly tell you why. They sponsor tailgating events and fun free food and I've always had a blast going to football and basketball games. If we're talking looks - the baseball team has always been prettyyyy good looking.
As far as intermural sports go, I can't really tell you because I've never participated in one. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not exactly talented when it comes to coordination. I do, however, live above the Manchester Field and I see intermural teams outside practicing on the field every night. It seems that soccer and softball are really popular!

What are your classes like?
My engineering courses are challenging but interesting. My core classes equally challenging are interesting, but in a different context. I like having the liberal arts and science-based course variation so I'm never bored.
