[quote=Anonymous]Santa Clara U has a good California campus vibe.  You can go on campus, and not leave. But the california campuses feel very different than East Coast--more outdoor walkways, a bit more cinderblock, the tiled roofs.  The social life is lived outside a bit more. It would be good to check the commuter v. residential.  It will probably take 1 hr+ to get to SF. San Jose doesn't have a ton to see or do, but the airport is convenient.

LMU is much closer to the city--LA. And that has more of a campus in the city feel.

U of SD --I don't know it well.

You might want to consider the other Jesuit school--U of SF.  This is a super cute campus, in SF, in the area close to Sea Cliffs (kind of like SF's version of Kalorama).  You wouldn't need a car, and it's pretty. The academics are a bit weaker than those on the list but it used to (15 yrs ago?) have a great nursing program.

The other school, if you're just looking for Cal schools (and Catholic) might be St. Marys.  This is super pretty, in Moraga--which is a suburb (?) of SF.  It would be like a campus being in McLean, but if it was farther like Loudouin county (distance from county to Dc). It's much more local and regional but I believe it's campus life and amenities might be nice. It would be worth checking out. [/quote]
