So, USD is sounding really good right about now......

USD is so beautiful and the connections are worth the extra money. There are royalty, scions, and insanely connected students. Look at the Honors Program, and if you’re in the top 10-20% of the incoming class, you get a $20K scholarship per year. It’s pretty good. You also just have to try hard and get other private ones. It’s not impossible; just takes work.
