University of San Diego Reviews
1 Review Submitted For University of San Diego
- Reviewed on: March 09, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- This is a good school with nice professors who are available after class/during their office hours. I'm not really feeling it though, since all the students here are very childish, its like they are back in high school and the professors are trying discipline like more than 50% of the time. I was expecting that going to a university like this would bring about more serious students, but that's not the case.
