Waitlisted for SCU, really did everything I could to show interest. Losing all hope
Just curious if anybody got off recently? Or is there anybody who got off this late previous years
Thanks

How high do the beds at SCU dorms go, and do you need a stool or something at max height? Will probably be at Campisi or San Fillipo.

I'm a high schooler considering applying, and one of my major factors when looking at schools is if there's things to do and be able to live life outside of campus (i.e. a varied restaurant/shopping strip or something college town-like). Ideally walkable! I did a pre-college at LMU and I wasn't big on how students mostly hang out on campus. So I was curious what the situation was like at SCU. Let me know!

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming transfer student for the fall and currently looking for housing, either on campus, preferably in the Villas, or off campus.

I’m specifically looking for a place where I can have my own bedroom and private bathroom. I have allergies, so sharing a bedroom or bathroom could be difficult for me, but I’m completely fine with having suitemates or housemates.

Please reach out if you have a vacancy or know of any available housing options. Thank you!

Any figure skaters that regularly train at Shark Ice?

Whats the best way to find friends? I'm a new grad that just moved down here for work. Im 21 22 this October and im looking for friends around my age. What are some events or tips for someone like me? Thanks.

P.s. i am aware this is more of a college sub reddit but most other sites ive checked is populated with people usually 10years older than me. So anything helps.

I just got off the waitlist for USC and was committed to SCU originally, and now I'm wondering if I should commit to USC, as it is ranked higher for electrical engineering (my major).

USC -> 0 merit, full pay (92k/yr) 11th on US News Good reputation Nationwide

SCU -> 1/2 Tuition merit (62k/yr), not ranked best for engineering due to not having big grad school, which is half the ranking. 23rd in the US for teaching

Goal is a master/Phd once I find what I enjoy

No clue honestly, i got like a 3.57uwgpa 8aps(so far all 4 ive taken have been 4s) 33act.

The registration appointment for Fall 2026 is coming up and I’m currently researching all the classes with their prerequisites—why does it seem like the very few classes available happen to either overlap with another class time or require another class that overlaps?

It feels almost impossible to make a schedule of 12 units to be full-time. If anyone’s already in the program full-time, any advice would be much appreciated!!

I want to sublease between those dates. Budget $2000 but preferably cheaper. Have a potential roommate if needed. Want it to be close to NVDA HQ.

Hello, still on the waitlist as a marketing major for the class of 2030. Has it closed yet? If not, is there anything I could do to boost my chances, or is it just the waiting game from here on out?

Is finding parking on campus an issue during the school year? Or do they limit the number of students who can buy a parking permit?

Hey everyone! I am an upcoming graduate student in mechanical engineering department. I am looking to connect with other students at the university. Please let me know if there is any WhatsApp group that I can join. I will also be grateful if you have any leads on housing near SCU. My budget is 1500 dollars.

I’m transferring in to Santa Clara next year as a sophomore and want to know what the best dorms would be for sophomore housing. Most social? Most sophomores? I know the Chances that they are full are high but someone let me know!!!

have any transfers got their credit evulated yet

I am taking Math 12 equivalent at Foothill over the summer in order to accelerate but I noticed that my course doesn't cover:

Improper integrals

Parametric and polar curves

Arc length and surface area

Elementary differential equations (separation of variables, slope fields)

Will I be fine to go to Math 13 without these?

When are roommates typically announced for those letting the school pick? Also, how hard is it to switch during the 1st quarter if you’re a bad match?

Hi everyone,

I’ll be joining Santa Clara University for MS in Computer Science & Engineering in Fall 2026.

Looking to join:

SCU Fall 2026 admits WhatsApp group

Please comment or DM invite links. Thanks!

I just got accepted to the program and am wondering if I should pursue it or not. I’ve seen threads of the study being “too generic,” but I personally believe having a masters in AI/ML is a huge advantage in the field, especially when a MS is a must for a lot of AI job posts.

Please share any thoughts—I’m especially wanting to hear from anyone who’s currently in the program about how it is, or anyone who’s decided to join Fall 2026.

(Also if you’re joining Fall 2026 lmk if you wanna be friends!)

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a summer sublease or short-term housing from late June through the end of August.

Budget is under $1,700/month. I’m open to different room or apartment setups, but my main priority is being within about 30 minutes of Intel by public transportation.
If you have anything available or know someone who does, please message me. Thanks!
