University of San Diego Top Questions

My classmates are pretty intelligent people.

It's kind of a mix of every type of student you could imagine, and everybody has their own way of studying, paying attention in lecture, and spending and balancing their free time; be prepared for a lot of diversity at UCSD.

My classmates were interested in their studies and overall friendly, but came from very wealthy areas and families and were accustomed to obtaining the things that they wanted with little effort and were also very superficial.

I am incredibly blessed to go to a Jesuit high school because of the incredible community. At my school we have the oppurtunity to challenge one another in all aspects. The school is very competitive in both academics and athletics. Each and every one of my classmates strives for excellence. When given the chance to attend weekly mass students come together and become closer to one another and God. My classmates are all loving and caring people who want nothing more than to help those around them.

The students at USD are certainly not all the same. Though, most of them are very handsome. A lot of girls dress up for classes but you also see a lot of people in workout clothes (perfect for early morning class!). A good majority of students are Catholic and attend mass in Founders Chapel but they do not flaunt their religion. There are also a fair share of gay boys who attend. I believe a goth-emo student would feel entirely out of place. Also, most people, but certainly not all, come from upper-middle class homes.

The students at USD are very well put together and attractive. Most girls dress in cute outfits everywhere they go, however, there are always the people who want to be comfortable in sweats. The financial backgrounds are varied, some are extremely wealthy and others depend completely on financial aid. A great thing about USD students are that they come from all over the world! In one class I have met peers from Greece, Ethiopia, and Italy! Since it is a Catholic school, you would expect a lot of Catholic students, however, USD has a variety of different religions and political views. All different types of students interact with one another, although the sports guys usually stick together. USD is a great place to go out of your comfort zone and meet many new people with awesome backgrounds and stories.

The University of San Diego has a superficial stereotype of rich, spoiled children. But really the school is very diverse, and is getting more diverse as the school's reputation becomes increasingly better. The rich stereotype is normally only true about Greek Life at the school. But everybody is very diverse. The students wear all sorts of things to class, so wearing anything would be considered ok. A lot of the students are politically aware of the political current events at the school, but a lot also are not. Different types of students tend not to interact because everyone has the clicks they find and stay with all the time.

Students on the USD campus are some of the friendliest I've met. If you sneeze while walking to class, there is no doubt that the stranger across the fountain will take the time to say "Bless you!" I would find it hard to believe if there was a student who felt out of place on this campus. There are countless racial, religious, and political organizations on campus that cater to the diversity. Because the weather is beautiful year-round, it isn't uncommon to see girls in tank tops and shorts over their bathing suits, ready to hit the beach. About half of the students here are from California, but there is a great number of out of state students as well. Although there are many wealthy students, the university does a great job of offering financial aid and scholarships to equally qualified students with varying academic interests.

My classmates at the University of San Diego are diverse, friendly, and accepting of one another.

Most I would say are smart. I couldn't say the same of my floormates. However, I have made friends with my classmates, mostly those in the honors program.
