BA/BS in Social Science - Batch of 2027

Offered by Santa Clara University

My college experience has been a great one. The faculty are nice and always ready to help.

Tips: Since I live and commute from outside off campus, the traffic and time can be a bit overwhelming. It does make me feel like I am missing out on a lot going on on campus. To compensate, I have joined some of the clubs that help me feel involved and engaged. Engage with your peers and enrol in outside-of-classroom programs to experience true learning.

My life in California.

Tips: The culture here is very fascinating and people both in and outside of the university are very hardworking. Lots of acceptance and diversity, so plenty of Indian representation, especially in terms of festivals, food and more. Some parts of the city are more expensive, especially when it comes to rent, so be prepared, and there are a lot of networking prospects if you find like minded individuals.

Very thankful for the opportunity here.

Tips: I have liked the accommodation and university quite a bit so far but I feel there could have been more options for meal plans especially as I am a vegetarian and it can become tricky to find more options. There are a lot of inter-college games that keep happening and is fun to look forward to. Sign up for a variety of different courses so you can get an organic experience. Overall, I am quite content with my experiences.
