Santa Clara University Reviews
Students are always happy and ready to help another BRONCO, and this is what makes the university unique. There is a strong sense of community, and everyone is proud to be a BRONCO. It has very strong alumni, and it is easier con get a really good job because many owners of big companies studied at Santa Clara and want more SCU students to work with them.
It is a top 50 university in the country overall. Also, it is top 20 in Finance and Business. It is top 10 for starting salary for graduates around $90,000 and in the top 1% across the planet. The location could not be better. Being in the center of Silicon Valley means tons of jobs.
