In CTW class, we have been doing a large amount of our writing and researching about Santa Clara University so when I read Matt Haworth’s blog entry “Why Santa Clara University?”<\/a> I thought it would be an interesting blog to respond to. While reading Matt’s blog entry, it made me reflect on my own college decision process, and why I ultimately decided to come to Santa Clara University<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"broncos\"<\/p>\n

Just like Matt, I got into my two dream schools: Santa Clara University and University of California Santa Barbara<\/a>. This made my decision extremely difficult. I loved both the schools, but for different reasons. UCSB’s campus is right on the beach and is extremely beautiful, not to mention their\u00a0lacrosse team is outstanding as well. SCU’s campus is in the middle of the epicenter of the hi-tech industry and is extremely beautiful, and has one of the best business schools in the country. My decision seemed impossible to make, until I started researching what I would study in school.<\/p>\n

\"question\"<\/p>\n

As it turned out, UCSB does not have a business school. It offered marketing and economics majors, but through the college of arts and sciences. I knew I wanted to study business and valued this highly when considering what school I would attend. In addition, I loved the fact that Santa Clara University was a Jesuit institution. I went to a Jesuit high school and absolutely loved the Jesuit programs and environment my high school provided. While choosing what university I would attend, I ended up choosing Santa Clara University and could not be any happier with my decision. Many factors went into me choosing SCU, such as its beautiful campus, its awesome extracurricular clubs and activities, and Jesuit campus life, but what ultimately made me chose Santa Clara University was its academics. Santa Clara University’s academics were unparalleled by any of the other universities I was accepted by. The Leavey School of Business is top tier and was the best option for me since I want to enter the business field after college. I am glad I chose Santa Clara University and am excited to spend the next four years learning and growing at this amazing university.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
