The University of San Diego is highly regarded as a prominent member of Southern California’s academic community, and prides itself in promoting social activism and global involvement as well as educational excellence among its student body. USD occupies a fairly quiet residential area of San Diego that is perfect for enjoying the region’s natural landscape.
