Why I Chose Santa Clara: I chose Santa Clarabecause of my experience with a Jesuit education. As my high schoolEnglish teacher once told me, no one argues like a Jesuit, andafter visiting Santa Clara, I just couldn’t say no. EveryoneI met there made it very obvious that Santa Clara was the place tobe. Between the incredible faculty, the diverse and invitingstudent body, and the 300 days of sunshine every year, I actuallycan’t tell you what the tipping point was in mydecision-making.
