After getting a tour of campus and talking with some faculty I knew that I wanted to come here. I loved being part of the SOUND of USD marching band. The faculty are my favorite part of USD; they have supported me endlessly as I have taken on scholarship and graduate school applications. It is apparent that USD faculty and staff want their students to excel.
