<p>I can’t speak for everyone in this thread but I can say that I chose SCU over the other schools that are regularly regarded as more prestigious because I was offered a generous scholarship (versus zero support from the Ivy Leagues), I loved the atmosphere of the campus, and I was more happy to stay on the west coast! Oh, and the Ivies aren’t very cooperative when it comes to AP’s…</p>
<p>turtlerock I saw your posts on the social life at SCU and, seeing as how I’ve only attended the preview weekend, I can’t really speak with authority on the subject. But I can say that I met a lot of kids out at a party that night and they were among the most outgoing and friendly kids I have ever met. I sure hope that it was a good representation of the school as a whole; I’ll find out in a few months!</p>
