    Girl, you have helped me understand UCSC so much. I am from LA (Long Beach area). I am eyeing UCSC after getting accepted for Environmental Science, but I have no way (or time as a transfer student) to go and visit the school. But I feel like I learned so much from your experience as a student. Thank you, thank you beyond the stars.

    One important thing to know is if you are a night owl, all dining options are closed by 11, and most lounge areas are closed by two, though most staff will let you stay later they just lock the doors from the inside. In general, everything stops at night so just be aware it is a morning campus. There are some places with vending machines but mainly if you're going to be out studying at night, bring your own food, and expect the main libraries to close by midnight.
    Next thing, if walking is a big issue but you still want to be on campus, if you can get an electric bike. It's been super helpful for getting around campus and there's a co-op for getting bikes serviced. Probably don't get a regular bike unless you're already experienced because the hills are no joke.

  • @katyroberts8075
    @katyroberts8075 Год назад +10

    A little confused -- is the lack of a Target or an Amazon distribution center next to the campus a problem? People go to UCSC to get away from that. I rode my cheap bike everywhere and, yes, it's hilly, but it was good exercise. I shopped with my backpack. I was really poor. But I never saw any of this as a problem. It was just the price I was happy to pay to live and study in a beautiful place -- for a too short part of my life.

    Would you happen to know if small pets are allowed in any of the dorms/housing? I recently got accepted to UCSC and because I live in L.A I would have to dorm, however the only thing holding me back from committing is not being able to bring my two cats, and leaving them behind isn’t an option for me :(

      @sullivangaudreault 2 года назад +8

      I would say there’s no pressure to smoke. I didn’t smoke my freshmen year and I never once felt pressured to or felt left out because of it. There’s definitely a stereotype that this is a stoner camps, while there are a lot of people who smoke, it’s certainly not a college culture that excludes if you don’t

    but it's such a unique campus, i can't seem to turn the thought of committing away.
    i didn't get in for my preferred major, but got offered for some alternates! how do you like your legal studies courses? (:

    The only thing I found strange in this video was the comment about overcast, Seattle-type weather. Santa Cruz is on the sunny side of Monterey Bay. The fog settles over Monterey on the other side of the bay. There is some fog in Santa Cruz, but it burns off quickly. If it isn't raining (and it hasn't been raining much in California lately), days are sunny even in the winter. Temperatures are moderate during the day -- high 60s to low 70s. That was my experience going to UCSC. As for the housing crisis, it is grossly irresponsible for the university to keep expanding the student population on existing campuses instead of building new ones. It either means filling up the UCSC campus with new buildings, which would destroy its character and the extraordinary beauty of its natural setting or putting students in an impossible position when it comes to finding shelter. But UC leaders don't care what you or I think. As an alumnus, I toss their funding appeals into the garbage.
