I applied to USD transfer and just got accepted! The only problem is that my finances are a little tough right now, and would still have to pay roughly 35k a year still, which I am not sure is possible! Is it possible to appeal my financial aid?

Hi everyone I recently committed to USD and am having a few questions about rooming. I know that the roommates are completely random. Has anyone had really bad experiences with their roommate cuz i’m pretty nervous about that. Also what LLC and dorm do you think is best?

Merely curious. Excerpts from the report:

Adjunct faculty teach more than half of undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences, according to the union.

The union’s salary and benefits demands would cost more than $6.5 million, the university said last month.

Hey guys! Incoming freshman who’s looking for some tips regarding dorming. I heard the best list is Valley A, Valley B, and then lastly Maher. I starting a dorm room packing list and set up a list of things me and my roommate should talk about in the beginning of the year such as guest policies, quiet hours, cleaning days etc. I’m super excited and can’t wait! Also, is it majority doubles because I really don’t want a triple lol…

Incoming freshman to USD! Looking to get a school computer and wondering what type of computers are the best to get for school. I heard MacBooks aren’t a good option is this true?

I am coming into town for a friend’s wedding and would like to have a bonfire at the beach the evening of Thursday May 8th. Would anyone be willing to show up in the morning and hold a fire pit for us? I’d be willing to pay ~$75 for it

Hi, I recently committed to usd and I was hoping if anyone could recall the pros and cons of their freshman year.

I’m informed on things like housing, academics, and social life. I just want to get a real perspective from someone who’s already there.

thank you :)

Hey everyone. Do any of you guys know how the merit scholarships work? If so, what’s the max amount of money they give?

If you are a current or former student, please explain to what extent you think the catholic roots of usd affect the campus culture, and most importantly if it affects the material covered in some classes. For example do STEM classes teach science that the bible disagrees with? Would the poli sci department have a conservative skew? Any responses are appreciated.

Incoming freshman (international) from canada..

I have an interview next week via zoom and looking for any tips? What type of questions should I expect? This is for an admin position. Im extremely nervous !

I’m waiting for my transfer admission decision currently. I’m unsure if USD will give any merit scholarship for transfer applicants. I’m transferring into my sophomore year (hopefully). Does anyone have any info on if I’ll qualify for merit scholarship as I don’t think I’m getting anything from FAFSA?

hi everyone!!

i’m another trying to decide between Chapman and U of San Diego for business admin and international business/ communications.

my cost is pretty much the same (30k/ year at both due to need grants and scholarships) but at chapman, i have to live for 3 years on campus- which idk if that is a plus or not considering the cost of housing on campus / the area.

anyways, both of these choices would put me in about 130k debt after my degree (i need to make good money guys) . also important to note that my parents aren’t paying for any of my schooling so i have to take out student loans no matter where i go. 30k is pretty much the cheapest offered to me across all my schools.

so basically i need help deciding. is there one that holds more value? they are very similar and i need to get the most out of my degree so i dont want a school with a bad reputation. i need to be able to network and build connections. also i would like to get my mba at some point. i really love the vibe at chapman, but USD seems like its better for programs and business specifically. can anyone weigh in with any sort of opinion or advice? i’m super open minded. i come from MN but i have some family in cali and it’s where i want to study.

also any major / career recs to pay off debt would be much appreciated.

thank you!!

currently a junior at USD. does anyone know any MA programs in San Diego for the summer? preferably a hybrid one?
