I was wondering what’s the social atmosphere at this school? Are there a lot of parties? And are there things to do off campus or are people stuck on campus?
I’m debating between scu and LMU by the way
people are probably not stuck on campus. There’s a train station right across the street - the train goes to SF, so I’ll assume a lot of folks head to SF on weekends.
Just a parent here, but my daughter seems to find plenty to do there. Into the Wild sponsors fun events (although you have to sign up quickly), there’s a Caltrain station across the street, and some kids have cars. Santa Cruz is close by (though requires a car to get there.) They scooter and uber around San Jose. There are also fraternity parties and dorm parties. My daughter was deciding among LMU, USD, and SCU this time last year. The money was a lot better at the other two, but she picked SCU and has been very happy.
