    This school is VERY expensive, but if you work hard you can earn a lot of scholarships. The academics are great, the quality of life on campus is great, and it's a great community to be a part of. One of the best parts of this school that come as a product of our huge tuition is the small class sizes, and I would much rather have small classes than an auditorium of 500 people!

    USD is extremely expensive and sometimes it feels like you may not be getting your complete moneys worth, but college is something that the more you put in, the more you get out. If you are not going to class, not eating at the dining hall, or not taking advantage of office hours it may seem as though you are not getting your full moneys worth. However, for me, I am not on any scholarship and financial aid. My parents are paying a ton of money for me to attend this school, so I definitely make sure I make the most out of everything here at USD.

    It is an extremely expensive school, but will be worth it after graduation. It has great job placement after graduation and the school really works to help you find jobs. The experience during your four years there is perfect, with amazing friends, a gorgeous campus, perfect weather, and great meals to accompany it all on and off campus. Everyone constantly complains on how we're paying for the constantly manicured lawns, but probably 75% of the students will include the looks of the school in their reasoning for choosing USD.
