About Me

Intro

First things first: I'm sexy and I know it.

Travel and Leisure Magazine, Newsweek, and the Princeton Review all rank me as one of most beautiful campuses in the country. But there's more to me than just my pretty face.

I've got a brain so powerful it could beat Einstein in a debate. Over pretty much anything, really. Because he's dead. On the real, though: I'm smart.

Regardless, my incoming class of 2018 had an average GPA of 3.90, so yeah, my academics are competitive. As a liberal arts school, courses from biological sciences to English to economics are part of the core curriculum. During finals, a good portion of my student body will be posted up in the Harry Potter Room (a room in my Copley Library that looks like it's straight outta Hogwarts) downing large amounts of Better Buzz coffee.

When I'm not looking drop dead gorgeous or studying for exams, I'm outside. Slacklines are set up outside of my Aroma's Cafe on most days. Outdoor Adventures constantly hosts trips to places like the Grand Canyon and Costa Rica. Yeah, that's right. Costa. Rica. Pura Vida, dude.

As a Catholic institution, I'm really into social justice issues. I've hosted speakers like the Dalai Lama and one of my buildings is literally called "The Peace and Justice Institute." I've been certified as an ASHOKA Changemaker campus, which means my students are encouraged to work toward creating a more humane world. Basically, Mother Theresa and I would be besties.

If you like what you see so far, hit me up.

Name

Diego Torero. P.S.: torero is Spanish for "bullfighter." Btw.

Hometown

I'm located in sunny San Diego where I'm perched atop a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. My good looks are Spanish in origin, a.k.a. my architecture is modeled after Alcala University in Spain. I'm basically a castle. Throw in some kids flying through the air with broomsticks, and I look a whole lot like Hogwarts (sans the large and lovable groundskeeper).

Birthdate

1949

Body Type

I'm keepin' it tight with an undergraduate population of about 5,000. I'm all about the intimacy. We'll get to know each other real well with my small class sizes. Nearly all of my classes are taught by PhD professors—none of that "taught by a TA" baloney.

Current Living Situation

In keeping with the college tradition of having people live with complete strangers, freshmen have to live on campus in dorms. The rooms range in size from singles to quadruples, depending on preference. Sophomores have to live on campus, most likely in the Alcala Vista Apartments. These apartments are like Shangri-La.

There's a twenty-four-hour coffee machine that makes cappuccinos, lattes, and a full assortment of caffeinated beverages, the pool is a mere five yards away, and the RA staff provides free food every Tuesday. If free coffee, easy access to a pool, and constant food don't bring eternal happiness, I don't know what does.

Upperclassmen generally live down at Mission Beach. Though I have sororities and fraternities, I don't have frat or sorority houses. However, many young lads and ladies will rent houses at the beach with their fellow frat bros and sorority sistas. Other upperclassmen like to venture downtown to live in the bustling business center. Downtown is a mecca for hipster coffee shops and funky brunch restaurants.

Relationship Status

It's complicated. Everyone and their mothers get me confused with UCSD and SDSU. This is particularly annoying because the SDSU Aztecs and I are not friends. We have some deep-seated issues, especially when it comes to basketball and soccer. I also need some intensive therapy sessions with Gonzaga. We've got a pretty solid basketball rivalry that will only end when the earth explodes.

Religion

Pope Francis and I go way back. As a Catholic institution, I'm all about that Vatican life. If there are old dudes in robes singing in Latin, count me in. P-Frank and I are particularly close because I'm big on Catholic social justice. Compassionate service is a big deal to me; it's in my core values. Yep, I've got rock-hard abs of social justice, baby. Boom.

Politics

I've got ties on both sides.

You should apply to me if...

you want a year-long tan and you're the smart, outdoorsy type who's committed to positively contributing to the world.
