College Advice on Santa Clara University

angelfo... Question: Santa Clara University, just an expensive daycare? This is what I have heard, I do not know how they stand in terms of academics, but they are better than the CSUs? and not quite UC level or IVy- league right? What are your thoughts on it? 36 months ago 404_ Best Answer All i know is a very good friend of mine went there for undergrad engineering and completed her degree without any problems and got a job at motorola right away. I have heard thought that its a bit strict on discipline than others but that's just rumors. It's best to know what you want from a university. One uni rarely offers everything for every type of person.

tupac87 Question: anyone that study in santa clara university? how is to study there? i'm not american...i'm going to study english before the university I'm italian 41 months ago Lisa ... Best Answer It is a beautiful campus! Very small, easy to get around. Safe and nice environment. Weather is warm from April to October, cool and rainy in the winter. There are a lot of parties on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights... It can be noisy at times. Most of the students are nice, some are stuck up. Lots of rich kids (I'm not one of them)! Some of the classes are difficult. Some are easier. It depends on who you have for a professor and also what the class is about. I am an average student and I am doing just fine. They have a good foreign exchange program too. I have two French students living in an apartment with me and they like it a lot here so far. See all 2 answers

I have ... Question: UC Irvine or Santa Clara University........ one should I go to? I do not know my major. Any info will help. I award 10 points to best one. 46 months ago advis... Best Answer I have answered this earlier and I am repeating it: Santa Clara is a private institution as such expensive.It also implies that whether you are a California resident or not the fee charged will be same and no 'In State' fee option is available.It costs $30,900 per year to study here.It's most popular undergraduate major is Business Management.It's location is suburban.It is associated with Roman Catholic Church Society of Jesus and has about 5000 UG students. UC Irvine is a public university. Meaning thereby that it offers 'Instate Fee' option: In-state tuition & fees $6,770 Out-of-state tuition & fees $24,590 UCI has about 19000 UG student enrollment. The most popular UG major is Social Sciences. UCI has a better ranking. It's graduate programs computer science has good reputation. Good Luck NBS See all 2 answers
