WHY BODE CHOSE SANTA CLARA: “Santa Clara’s small class sizes, top-shelf academics and beautiful campus made it a natural fit for me. When I visited campus, I was very impressed with how nice people were and I loved the sense of companionship that seemed to be a unique characteristic of Santa Clara. I also took comfort in the fact that Santa Clara aims to educate with an emphasis on morals. I believe that the education I receive at Santa Clara will be holistic and well-rounded.”
