I wouldn’t call SCU a “commuter school.” I believe 100% of the freshman class lives on campus and a majority of the upperclassmen live either on-campus, in off-campus SCU sponsored/built apartments, or in the frat/sorority houses that ring the campus proper. There are definitely students who live on campus all four years, but like I mentioned, upperclassmen do tend to move toward the SCU Apartments (brand new!) or the houses that literally surround the campus (a 1 - 3 block walk to campus).

SCU also has a Law School and Graduate programs. I believe about 100% of these students live off-campus, as makes sense since these are older students.

There is plenty of school spirit–sports or spiritual, volunteering or partying–whatever the student is drawn to, there should be something available.

The students tend to be very cheerful–beautiful California sun year round.
