Hello! I’m new to the CC forum and a senior in high school. I know that these schools are pretty much around the same caliber, so I was planning on only applying to one. I was just wondering which was has strongest academics and strongest science department. Which of these also has the best location for internships/weekend life? Also which one of these usually gives the most aid?
Thanks!
Each of these schools would provide you with an exceptional college experience! Santa Clara, I believe, will have the greatest internship opportunities being in the heart of the Silicon Valley. The location and opportunities there cannot be surpassed. However, SCU is also known for not being the most generous with merit aid.
Science in general and certainly engineering is much stronger at SCU. So is business. USD will give much more merit. LMU after that, SCU last. They don’t have to give merit to get students there and are not known for their merit money.
