University of San Diego Reviews
In terms of academics the majority of your professors will not be full time facility or have significant teaching experience. Most semesters I would have at most only one class with a full time professor.
Its also worth noting the school has very conservative undertones which you may not gather from the website alone. Be prepared to hear white students repeatedly using the N word and the large pro life groups the dominate campus.
If the above does not scare you USD is for you!
My experience at USD started off fairly good. However, it has become increasingly obvious to me over the years that this school wants nearly nothing to do with the Catholic values they claim to espouse. They employ faculty and administrators whose teachings flagrantly contradict Catholic doctrine on a daily basis, instead leading students away from God's truth and towards leftist propaganda. Furthermore, they demonstrated an alarming lack of transparency, ethics, and respect for students and their families when working through the CV19 pandemic. The value of my education has entirely gone down the toilet, and I now feel like I have wasted my time at an institution that has lied to me and taken advantage of my money.
Campus is nice though.
