By Buck PS east bay, From Silicon Valley Ca
As a parent I fear for my students safety and well being when attending classes at Santa Clara University.

SCU Ascending
By Grad of '84, Parent of '16, From Central Valley, California
While I am proud of the university as it was in the 1980's, and it served me well in politics and public service, SCU so much more now, and the next 5 years are bound to elevate the university even more. My son is a recent graduate in accounting, and he found a welcoming alumni business community throughout the Western United States. He and his many roommates and friends appear to have all successfully embarked on their early careers or advanced degrees. I am impressed with the quality of relationships across multiple majors and disciplines. The university is half way Into a $1B fundraising campaign and building a remarkable, Silicon Valley-esque STEM facility that will elevate it's national profile. "If you build it, they will come."

Excellent Business School
By Rob, MBA Class of 2020, From California
I've been attending Santa Clara University for over a year and I have been extremely pleased with the high-quality educational experience that the school offers. The business school is excellent - the professors are engaging and have extensive industy experience. The university is considered "the Silicon Valley business school" and graduates can be found in almost every industry. The alumni network is very strong, which makes it great for networking.

Amazing School
By Vanessa, Class of 2022, From LA, California
My first year at Santa Clara has been hands down the best year of my life. The campus is beautiful, the people are insanely kind, and the professors are accessible. HIGHLY recommended for anyone looking for a small school feel, plus the Silicon Valley location means there are abundant job and internship opportunities. There's so much to do in the Bay Area, whether it's going to San Francisco or beaches in Santa Cruz, it's truly a special place that's rising up the ranks!!!!

A gorgeous university
By Peter, From San Jose
Santa Clara University has a wealth of knowledge and opportunity at one's finger tips. Unless student's are naturally inclined to being outgoing and seeking out places that they can make a difference in or even call home, it will take a considerable amount of effort to find the people and the opportunities that make Santa Clara University a most memorable place. Furthermore, Santa Clara University has very rigorous academic programs, so students should not be terrified if they receive their first end of semester report filled with low marks. Along with just showing up to class and external appointments, these meet ups offer students a chance for research opportunities, internships and even future careers.
