Help narrow down college list

<p>I’m in Northern California and can comment on at least 2 on your list.</p>

<p>Santa Clara is a small campus but it doesn’t have a large number of attractive buildings or quads (not counting Mission Santa Clara which is absolutely beautiful). It’s also surrounded by a lot of strip malls along the Alameda (street linking Santa Clara to San Jose). But it’s also near the Rose Garden District which has beautiful old houses.</p>

<p>Stanford is a very pretty campus. I used to attend their summer basketball camps and stayed in a few of the dorms (Branner, Toyon) They were nice. It has a lot of green areas and gorgeous buildings. It’s also in Palo Alto which is a very nice town.</p>

<p>I love the campus of USF (another Jesuit college like SCU) but it’s not on your list.</p>
