#1 Top Private Universities in California
Freshman: For lack of better words, Stanford University is a one of a kind university. The cleanliness, architecture, art, and general energy of the campus are all of positivity, engagement, and other things of that sort. Whenever I am there, interacting with the students, faculty, and employees of the various stores and cafes there, it is a very, very welcoming environment. The bookstore has an amazing selection of books, and I always love looking at the selections of readings at its various libaries. Furthermore, every single interaction with professors that I have had, I have enjoyed them and am very much of the belief that they have been for the better. I am truly glad that I will be a part of the incoming Stanford class of 2024.

#2 Top Private Universities in California
Sophomore: Pomona College is a great school with so many interesting people from all over the world! It's a very diverse group of students, and because there are 4 other colleges there, we have access to a wide range of classes, locations and experiences across the "5C's." I play softball for Pomona Pitzer, and the team spirit keeps me sane, while the support from other student-athletes from football and baseball, etc. is really cool. It's a small school, but big on ideas and things to do in and around LA area. Claremont is a cool little village we walk to from campus and its only a short drive to beach or mountains.

Niche User: I loved visiting caltech! I loved the campus, it was so beautiful. The houses each had their own personality, and cool traditions! I got to play tennis on the courts there and stay with some other girls in the houses themselves. We staying in flemming house and spent a lot of time in the common room! We also were able to tour the academic facilities and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is associated with Caltech and it was truly inspiring to see. We were given the opportunity to see current projects in JPL like the 2020 mars rover! I cannot wait to apply!

Junior: Being a student at the University of Southern California is like no other. The campus is beautiful and the academics are stellar. The whole school feels like one big family. The athletic programs are top notch and really bring all the students together. I love being able to attend countless games while seeing cheering fans who truly love where they go to school. The best part about the University of Southern California is the Trojan alumni. With over 425,000 Trojan alumni in the world, you are always connected to a Trojan. The wonderful Trojan alumni are there for you beyond your four years. They give opportunities to advance in your desired career field, as well as be there in a new environment. No other university is this connected between current students and alumni. I am proud to attend USC, where academics, athletics and alumni blend together making the ultimate college experience!

Harvey Mudd College

#6 Top Private Universities in California
Alum: Attending Harvey Mudd College was a humbling experience. I was able to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics with peers who were similarly passionate. There are boundless opportunities to take courses both on campus or at any of the four other undergraduate Claremont Colleges that are all within a 1-mile radius, just a short walk or quick bike-ride away. I had the opportunity to pursue summer research projects and engage in a thesis project during my senior year. The campus encourages students to present their research across the nation at various conferences. It’s not uncommon for the department sponsoring your research project to also sponsor your attendance at research conferences including paying for hotel, airfare, and a food stipend! Last but most definitely not least, the advisors are passionate about your success and meet with students frequently. I personally met with my advisor on a weekly basis. I am grateful for this amazing undergraduate institution!

#7 Top Private Universities in California
Sophomore: I am a rising sophomore at Santa Clara University, and my experience thus far has been amazing to say the least. Coming into a four year university as a Latinx first-generation student was nerve-wracking at first; I wasn't sure how well I would adapt to a new environment. However, I was immediately received with open arms in a community that prides itself in acceptance, diversity, inclusion, and bronco spirit! Throughout my first year, I became involved in activities such as Associated Student Government, Mecha-El Frente, Campus Ministry, and the Office of Multicultural Learning. I have been able to find an incredible support system, long-life friends, outstanding professors, a social residential learning experience, and an active student life. In addition, the academics are extremely strong as professors prioritize their students, meaning that they put the well-being and success of those they teach in order to prepare them appropriately for future careers.

Scripps College
4 Year
Claremont, CA
444 reviews
#8 Top Private Universities in California
Alum: Your experience at Scripps will be what you make of it to some extent. If you become more involved on campus and fully integrate yourself within the community it'll likely be more enjoyable. I personally felt the people at Scripps were the best part of the experience. I loved being surrounded by such intelligent and thoughtful individuals. My peers were hard workers, but I personally never felt a pressure to compete with them, per se. I also loved a lot of my Scripps professors and enjoyed the classes where we were able to have discussions in small groups. The campus itself is probably the prettiest of the 5Cs and has one of the best dining halls. The bad parts: bureaucracy and the administration over looking student needs. I felt a lot of the times students would voice their opinions only to be shut down by those in the admin. It can also be a high stress environment, and the school itself lacks resources to fully assist all students, leading to greater inequity.

Pitzer College

#9 Top Private Universities in California
Junior: The 5 Cs are arguably the best liberal arts consortium in the country and kind of like a hidden gem. I feel very lucky to be able to attend Pitzer, where the professors are engaging leaders in their fields, the student body truly wants to make the world a better place, and the entire community is intelligent, open minded, and kind. The food is incredible and mostly farm to table with many veg and organic options. Everyone is into a million things on campus, clubs are super popular, and kids are politically active and work toward social justice and environmental sustainability. We party and have fun, but academics are the priority. Some of our teams are highly ranked, like Swim & Dive which is 8th in the country. Claremont is an awesome college town. It’s just a special school - so happy to call it home. Thank you, Pitzer!

#10 Top Private Universities in California
Sophomore: Oxy has always fostered passionate and committed academics with a highly focused attention towards global and local impacts, while still maintaining an easy-going and inclusive west-coast attitude. I feel at home there. One thing that definitely needs to change, however, is their focus on the black students and black studies. The latter is a withering major and the former have suffered lack of support. Especially considering the unexpected deaths of two black students on campus this past semester, black students are feeling more desolate in the school's environment than usual. Oxy likes to parade itself around as a pillar of inclusivity, but the lack of ownership and material reparations dedicated to dismantling racist conditions of the college, such as the blackface incident from a donor of the school (who graduated in the 80s) that rose to light this past year, truly prove that Oxy thrives under a facade of progressive interests. Please change this! Our students deserve it.

Graduate Student: I love Pepperdine University! All the professors and staff are very involved in your academic learning. Every professor is very knowledgeable in their field and is always willing to help you if you have any questions.
It has been a wonderful experience. All of the classes get you engaged in the material. I’ve learned so much this past few semesters. Once you attend a few classes you become such a close knit community with your peers. Everyone is helping each other succeed. It is an opportunity for personal and academic growth. The campuses all around Malibu, Encino and West LA are all beautiful. The Malibu campus has an exceptional view! You can study or eat and look out for the breathtaking view of the ocean and sunlight.
You’re overall you’re academic experience is wonderful. Pepperdine upholds really great Christian values that coincides with my religious beliefs.

#12 Top Private Universities in California
Niche User: I visited this campus over summer, and it is definitely my top choice for college! The buildings and scenery are beautiful. There is a great cafeteria and many housing options. Since this is a competitive school, the academics seem challenging yet rewarding. I also like the "change-maker" vibe of this university. Not only does USD want you to be successful in your career, it wants you to be successful in improving the world. The only downside of USD is how expensive it is. There are scholarships offered, yet you need to have a pretty high GPA and outstanding test scores in order to be considered for the merit ones. I hope that if I get accepted to and attend USD, it will be well worth my expenses; the positives of this campus definitely seem to outweigh the negatives!

#15 Top Private Universities in California
Freshman: USF is an amazing university! One of the things I love most about the campus is the positive environment between students. Everyone you meet genuinely wants to help you succeed and see you succeed. One thing that's great is that USF doesn't do "rank-based" grading and we have direct-entry programs, so it really fosters an environment where you don't feel like you're competing with others.

Professors really care about seeing you do well in their classes too. Many of them encourage attending office hours and the small classes means that it's not packed all the time.

The city has tons of amazing opportunities too! There's lots of options to build your career.

I've loved every minute of my attendance and promise that to any newcomer that is considering Biola as a place that they want to further their education. The campus is on the smaller side but that just encourages the intimacy between friendships. The professors are very student oriented, they love what they are doing and are passionate about their students' education. The diversity is impeccable. There are students from so many different countries, there are clubs and events dedicated towards making them feel at home. Biola has an excellent Campus Safety program designed to keep its students safe even while walking around at night. There has not been one moment that I have felt violated or unsafe on this campus. Overall I love this place and wish with every bone in my body that I will be able to return for my second year!

Westmont College
4 Year
Santa Barbara, CA

#18 Top Private Universities in California
Sophomore: Westmont is one of the better Christian liberal arts colleges out there. I love the school's small student body and community - it took just a few months before I felt like I knew like half the people on campus, and yet the school never felt too small. There are some truly great students here. Westmont has wonderful professors and is differently more academically challenged than a typical challenge. I am impressed with how Westmont's Christian values felt genuine without becoming too legalistic or fundamental like some other Christian colleges. It is easy for those who are interested to plug into a strong Christian community. However, this college is not for everybody, and those who do not fit in struggle, especially non-Christian students. There have various diversity issues that have been raised that are currently being addressed, as well as an unhealthy addiction to "overcommitment" among the student body. Overall though, I am glad I picked Westmont.

Pacific strives for excellence in all of its students and recognizes their abilities individually.

Plenty of volunteer opportunities provided alongside rich experiences that shape the way we view the world around us. Once a tiger, always a tiger.

#21 Top Private Universities in California
Sophomore: I am currently a second year student at Azusa Pacific University and I absolutely love the school. I was always someone who didn’t really like school, but yet at APU they really make you feel welcomed and have plenty of resources to use in times of need. In addition, the students and professors are very friendly and helpful! Although the tuition can seem like a lot, but I love how Christ-centered the school is. The school itself is a small community, but it helps a lot in growth with Christ and even in our studies. Two things I would suggest is possibly offering more classes for students because enrolling for classes can be rough at times and possibly having online classes opened to commuters more because it would help those that are traveling further than local ones and for those that can not afford living on campus. I am a commuter myself and it is pretty hard going to school everyday sometimes driving for more than an hour due to traffic.

The campus has a rich history as it's been around for over a 100 years, and over those years, the school has made great leaps into cultural and ethical diversity and acceptance. Alongside that, being on campus is quite enjoyable and comfortable as there is usually some sort of event going on that everyone is welcome to enjoy, and you don't feel unsafe due to the proximity of the police station to the school and the many emergency telephones surrounding the campus.

Graduate Student: I've spent years trying to decide whether to pursue a PhD program or another master's degree since I'm a criminologist and work in the field of Mental Health as a CEO. I inadvertently learned about Touro through a new hire who told me about the reasonable fees, flexible and convenient on-line format and being ideal for busy professionals, and how great the staff were. I had no idea what I was about to experience. The folks are there to assist in every way...they were simply a phone call away to literally walk me through and assist in even the simplest of issues. They even helped me obtain a scholarship for almost half of my tuition through just listening to me mention one aspect of my life. Imagine that---nearly half of my tuition paid for. You can't miss this opportunity. If you are in doubt...doubt no more and jump on board. You won't be sorry!

Freshman: What i enjoy the most about the NewSchool of Architecture and design is the diversity within the school. Not only is their students from across the united states, but also from all around the world. Having this diverse culture at our school, it gives all of us students more perspectives and a variety of different ways of problem solving especially in a design school. Everyday when visualize the students work, you see creativity and something new from every project. This school is like no other in my opinion. The relationships you build with the students and the professors just from being in studio is amazing . Theirs not so many schools that provide a work space for you and other students that is accessible to you seven days a week for as long as you need to work.
