<p>USD sounds like an AMAZING school, but I'm guessing that it is FILLED with selfish, shallow, preppy kids who care more about their image than their academics. Is this true? And if your mature and popularity doesn't matter to you, can you find those few special people who feel the same way? After all, It is those people that I really want to spend my time with.</p>
<p>well, i visited the campus twice so far, and this is from what I have seen. People there seem to care about their image. And yeah, you got a point, its the few special people that matter. I'll be able to tell ya more detailed stuff by the time move-in day and class start for me! Hopefully it isnt as bad as it seems.</p>
<p>I don't think it's nearly as bad as you seem to think it is. USD has one of the best looking group of students I've ever seen...honestly. Just based on looks, it may appear that it is a school filled with a bunch of shallow people, but I really don't think that is the case. I would also say that most people are quite focused on academics as well. Most everyone at USD must be fairly into academics or else they would have flunked out or not have been admitted to the school in the first place.</p>
<p>no no no you guys got it alllll wrong. My sister goes to USD and she takes her academics highly above anyone else. Same with all of her roomates she has had all four years. This is her senior year there and she LOVES IT. I dont know why everyone thinks USD is only filled with selfish people who only care about their image and not their academics. That's not how it is at all. USD is a wonderful school. Yes, there are a lot of students who attend there who are of higher income families, but that is how a lot of private institutions are. I strongly recc. that you apply there! You wont be able to do anything but LOVE it.</p>
<p>My son graduated from USD in '06. He is a normal guy and loved the school. He is not preppy and could care less about popularity. USD is a great school. This is from a mom of four kids who attended various schools. all in California.</p>
