"SCU IS JUST PERFECT OVERALL. Santa Clara University is the dream school of thousands of students worldwide. More than the favorable rankings that speak amazingly about SC it is the community that makes it unique. It is #6 in best catholic universities, #18 in best college dorms, and top 20 in Business and Finance. It is top 50 in best value, campuses, and university as a whole. Students are always happy and ready to help another BRONCO, and this is what makes the university unique. There is a strong sense of community, and everyone is proud to be a BRONCO. It has very strong alumni, and it is easier con get a really good job because many owners of big companies studied at Santa Clara and want more SCU students to work with them. It is a top 50 university in the country overall. Also, it is top 20 in Finance and Business. It is top 10 for starting salary for graduates around $90,000 and in the top 1% across the planet. The location could not be better since it is in the middle of Silicon Valley - the most innovative place in the WORLD, where Google, Facebook, Apple, and Wells Fargo just to name a few. It is 1 hour away from San Francisco and 30 minutes away from the nicest beaches in California. The campus is in the top 20 in the country, and it is better than a country club. It is just perfect. The weather all year long is amazing, and it is sunny 300 days a year. There are approximately 6,000 undergraduates, and the class size is small (1 to 10 on the student-to-professor ratio), so you can have better interactions with your professors and classmates. The best thing about Santa Clara is the community - it is such a friendly campus. There are so many opportunities to get involved on campus through clubs or sports, which opens up doors to meeting so many new people. Developing friendships is such a valuable experience in the college years, and Santa Clara's great sense of community only helps to make that easier."

"Santa Clara University provides a quality education that prepares us for life after college. Students are challenged to do research, work, learn, be involved and help the nearby community. Also, going to school in the Silicon Valley opens many doors for possible internship opportunities, something that cannot be found in many places."

"Santa Clara helped me to further understand the field of counseling psychology. I have only been attending for a quarter, however, I can already notice how equipped I will be once I do graduate in preparation for my continued professional development. Overall, I am proud to have made the decision to attend, and I'm sure you won't regret it!"

"The small class sizes and the industry experience of the professors were great. It allowed me to understand the subject material with real world examples that you don't get at some of the larger universities."

"Excellent overall education. The bio department needs some work with their curriculum, but they recognize this and are actively working on it. The 5-quarter intro sequence was a pain to get through (especially the last one), but the upper division classes made it all worth it. Overall great school, but make sure to consider individual programs you are interested in as well as the whole school."

"I really enjoyed my time at Santa Clara University. The faculty was incredibly knowledgeable, the course work was rigorous and the campus itself was beautiful and safe. While it was very pricey to attend, I really enjoyed the intellectual community at SCU and how I evolved as a critical thinker and problem solver. I majored in Art History and Studio Art; however, I now am pursuing my masters in Occupational Therapy."

"I really enjoyed my graduate experience at Santa Clara University. The professors were very good, I learned a ton that I was able to put to use right away, and I made some great friends in my program as well."

"I think it was best of the time I have spent in the college. Campus was great and even teachers were very co-operative. Very knowledgeable place. Quite planned curriculum. The place from where my career starts."

"A good institution with proper staff and support. An incredible learning place"

"The school campus is very nice and peaceful. The professors were mostly from local industries, so they were able to teach subjects they were currently working in."

"As a civil engineer, there are many levels of certification to become a licensed engineer. I have been well prepared and have passed the initial tests. This has been due to the community at Santa Clara. All of the professors want you to succeed and will help you inside and outside of the classroom. They ensure that you understand and learn the material in order to move on to future classrooms. The courses were challenging, but they encouraged me to think critically and apply knowledge from several classes. The small classrooms are essential to this learning environment. I have good relationships with all of my professors and classmates and we all help each other when needed."
