I agree with previous posters who claim there are many reasons to choose SCU over other higher ranked universities. Size is one reason - would you rather be one of 5,000 undergrads or one of 30,000? Location is another good reason. If, like my son, you are majoring in computer science/engineering, then proximity to Silicon Valley is a good reason to choose SCU. Even price - if one is from outside of CA and was accepted to UCB and SCU, then it is very likely that with scholarships and grants, SCU will cost less than UCB. My son chose SCU over USC, Cal Poly SLO, Colorado School of Mines and a few other schools. He is very happy there.
