Santa Clara University Top Questions

The caf food could be better.

I think maybe a bad part of Santa Clara is the sororities and fraternities. They are not allowed under Santa Clara name, but prosper anyways. I think the fact that Santa Clara is so against them makes them that much more appealing to the public and there is a stress on them that I find unnecessary.

maybe too small, expensive to live close to campus

The Church plays a big part on campus, but it doesnt command the school. It is more of a presence on campus.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of motivation all of the students have.

Sometimes our school has public relations problems and we never really communicate the attitudes behind both parties. For example, our campus recently had a controversy over blogs being posted on Juicycampus.com, where students were being made fun of and singled out by ethnicity and race. The way people dealt with it was the Multicultural Center staff put a bunch of posters with statements like, "We're better than this." Although, these banners were not inappropriate, I do not feel that blunt responses such as these were any better than the statements left on Juicycampus.com.

The lack of cultrual diversity and the division between people of different races. This division can lead to offensive behavior that leaves some people very hurt and others unaware of what the "big deal" is.

There is a need for more racial diversity both in the student body and the faculty. Also there seems to be a lack of connection between the minority students and the white students, it's not that they're not friendly, they just don't seem to connect.

Closed minded people.

Lack of school spirit at sporting events.
