i just toured on Monday and i loved it so much. im mixed and i was really hoping to hear another person of color's perspective on the demographics of the school. this really helped me and im definitely going to add usd to my list!!
this was super helpful, thank you! i toured USD yesterday and Pepperdine today, and i have to agree that USD is the prettier campus. i definitely think i'll apply next year!
This is so helpful. I’m from Chicago and am deciding between here and UIUC. I just got notified that I received the presidential scholarship to attend here and I’m stoked. Just a little worried about diversity and overall cliques in the school since I haven’t been able to visit yet!
Hey! This was so helpful!!! I just got accepted, and I was wondering if there is air conditioning in the dorms and if there is places open at late hours to grab some snacks and food.
Unfortunately there is no AC in the dorms, so I def recommend bringing a fan, especially cause it can get hot in San Diego. And there are two places on campus open til 12 to get snacks!
@@kiraford1104 Hi Kira, My daughter is an incoming freshman. We’re coming down this week to check it out. Are you available to give a private tour? Compensated of course! Ginny 415-710-3771
Zeel Mehta basically lower division classes are mostly core classes or the courses you take starting off in your major or minor. Upper division classes tend to be more advanced and you would mostly take them end of sophomore-senior year
Really enjoyed your video! Thank you for posting this, I really needed to hear more about it before fully committing. What do you think about the LLC’s, let me know thanks!
Aww thank you! And the LLC’s don’t really matter too much, especially when choosing your housing. Just focus on where you wanna live. The LLC’s place you in a required freshman class that will cover one of your CORE ( basically general education classes needed to graduate). But all in all I wouldnt stress over them! I hope this helped, lmk if you have anymore questions!
Hi! Thanks for all the videos on usd! I’ve been accepted and highly considering it! Can you tell me more about what exactly is the llc and being like an advocate or cultivate?
The LLC is basically you get placed into groups and you have a class with this group (around 20 ppl) for both semesters of freshman year. You also will be assigned an advisor and a student advisor as well that help you get used to school. Its nice because usually you'll end up being friends with at least one of the people because you spend so much time with them
Also from Chicago this video was really helpful just had a campus tour today. Interested in the Olin school of business! One worry I do have is tuition and if student loan is the way to go after college.
ya tuition is definitely a problem for almost everyone that goes here, but you can appeal for financial aid and explain your situation, and the school might be able to give you more aid!
hey! i’m french and might come to this college next year. i didn’t really understand the part about theology courses.. are they mandatory and like with finals how does it work out ? thank you for your video it was super helpful :)
Hi!, so the theology courses are mandatory, you have to take one lower division and one upper division course. You tend to have finals in almost all of your classes unless your professor decides otherwise. Hope this helps :)
This helped a lot! What would you say about having a car on campus? Are freshman allowed to bring their cars? If you don't bring your car is it easy to go around the city?
Freshman are allowed to have cars and a large amount do have them. I don’t have a car and still found it easy to get around whether it was through uber or my friends driving me!
Hi, I’m thinking of going to USD this fall. Would you say the academics are very hard and challenging? Was it a smooth transition from high school to college?
It is super easy to get involved on campus! There are so many things to join and to do, theres at least one major campus-wide planned event per week. Especially at the begining of each semester.
Damn the demographics really making me re think my entire decision ugh I already go to a really white high school I just want something a lil different
I follow their TH-cam channels and they're really pushing diversity. Personally I don't care, I was one of like 5 Latinos at my high school and I have no problems with a predominantly white school.

hey, this video really helped to know more about USD. planning to apply here. what are upper and lower division classes?
Zeel Mehta basically lower division classes are mostly core classes or the courses you take starting off in your major or minor. Upper division classes tend to be more advanced and you would mostly take them end of sophomore-senior year

Hi, I’m thinking of going to USD this fall. Would you say the academics are very hard and challenging? Was it a smooth transition from high school to college?
Have you eaten at La Gran Terraza? I heard it's some upscale restaurant at USD.
I actually haven’t, but everyone says its really good
Dorm Tours !!!
Tiffany Magana i wish i could, but im a sophomore, so i don’t have access to the freshman dorms unfortunately
Hi there!
My daughter is an incoming freshman Fall 2021 - would you be interested in giving a private tour? We are in town visiting this week!
How do you get involved on campus and are there lots of planned events that go on or things to do?
It is super easy to get involved on campus! There are so many things to join and to do, theres at least one major campus-wide planned event per week. Especially at the begining of each semester.
Do you know if you can have the right to choose who you want to room with as roommates or does USD randomly picked them out for you?
Sydney Dao unfortunately, usd picks them out for you, but i haven’t heard too many horror stories about bad roommates
Hi! One question, as a junior exchange student which housing will you recommend?
Thank u!
Blanca Quemada probably manchester, its super nice, kinda off isolated from main campus, but most juniors and seniors tend to live there
I know it's a stupid question but can you study med in USD cause I want to become a neonatologist
A lot of my friends who are planning on med school are taking Behavioral Neuroscience. We have a nursing program but not specifically Pre-Med.
DAYUM Pepperdine and USD!
do you guys have a lot of parties? I know you said that you dont need to be in a sorority to get into the parties, but do you guys have a lot ?
We dont have has many as a big state school would have. But the frats tend to throw parties here and there. And sometimes sports teams throw them.
is there any Europeans or foreigners in the school? if yes would you say there are just a few?
dylan cool yes there are a good number of international students! They probably makes up a good 10-12% of the student body

@Manya Karama I mean I agree with you. I go to a predominantly white school and I would like to see some diversity so I can experience something new.
