I agree and I'm a californian. Not worth the flight hassle. not an academic powerhouse

OP said they got great merit and their kid would prefer to be a big fish in a small pond.

Have you visited, OP? I think it could be a terrific choice.

DC received acceptance last night - with Alcala (sp?) merit award of $28k/year. Also have a SAGE scholar program at work that would cover one year of tuition. Have not seen campus, but excited to tour.

It's a beautiful school. Excellent undergraduate teaching. Very Catholic, at least when I was there a million years ago.

OP here--DC was awarded highest merit award so retail cost 80k is now 50k. Plus airfare home. We has enough to cover in 529 plan. It is ranked 98 or something like that by usnwr....better to attend a school where DC will be a big fish academically in a small pond or go to a more prestigious school (no money and would roughly cost the same as USD). DC has struggled with anxiety and confidence, not feeling smart enough....

I think it's worth it. A neighbor in Bethesda's kid got in and it was his first choice, he attended and loved it. SD is calmer than LA but close enough if you want to be there. We live in LA for what it's worth and would love for either of our kids to attend USD

It's not well known outside of San Diego. Definitely not worth the retail cost.

Are UCSD decisions out already? I thought end of March.

Not UCSD. University of San Diego

Got it! Congrats to you.

I agree it’s a beautiful, clean, well cared for campus. Completely enclosed and set up on a hill. Seems like an ideal school to me. We are in Southern California and my kid wants to leave otherwise I’d consider it myself.

Saw it last year. Beautiful campus.
