Attended USD in the 60s and still love to go back for reunions and visits all the time. It is one of the most beautiful universities in the country.

I was there on business but I did notice that there are a lot of facilities for the students and staff there. A very large selection of food outlets of all varieties.

Beautiful campus with a wonderful tour. The individual colleges and their philosophies gave a cozy feel to a large campus. Libraries were very impressive and the study environment as well.

Go on Tuesday when visiting the campus. The Farmer's Market is from 10-2. Have lunch at LemonGrass for exceptional Thai food. Say hi to Pat who runs this.

Get a Great Science / Engineering degree from this University. Sprawling Campus. Visit the incredible library. Art is everywhere on the campus. Students are very friendly and helpful. Always something happening on the quad. One of the best West Coast Swing Dance groups is based here.
