Santa Clara University

What kind of school makes you take an exam and forces you to retake pre calc when you did calculus in high school. Lot of bad professor here to. Registration is bad because people who have more credits to pick classes first while people who had to drop courses and have less will register last and get bad professors. People choose a different school

Do yourself a favor and go to Cal Poly

For the amount of money this school charges its not worth it. The majority of the instructors are just lecturers and do not care about the quality of the education. They are just there to add something to their resumes. Courses are impacted in the engineering department and challenging to get the classes that you need to graduate. Gym is terrible.

Not a cheap university by any standards. For grad engineering, most instructors are adjunct and not permanent full time. Classes are super easy, and you can easily score >3.5 CGPA if you put in a little effort. Campus is super boring, and the yes the "food" is super expensive. Not really a great university, I guess we pay for location

I think SCU has close resemblance to the city of Santa Clara. Entities in Santa Clara are known to be unprofessional providing poor services. Tuition is overpriced.I felt this way during my time at SCU. In addition, I felt like SCU is not very communal, most students work. I think students are nice but reserved. Professors design good curriculum

Mechanical Engineering mostly feels like a joke. It can be a challenge to get required classes and counselors are useless. Finding help for some of the more difficult engineering classes can also be more of a challenge than at a larger institution. There are pros and cons with going with a small college.

Incredibly Mid for the price of entry.

The Graduate Engineering department at the university is in deficit, so admission is super easy. However, classes are nothing but terrible. The University campus is so small that DeAnza community college will feel like a university. And yes, super expensive: food and tuition and not worth the money. Few social clubs but boring.
