I think that the best thing about my school is the acceptance of all peoples. Other than a very few situations, I've never felt unable to express my sexual orientation, and I've always seen that students and professors support and fight for the rights of other students to feel open and accepted.

I am learning a great deal to prepare me for medical school and a research focused career in Neuroscience. I really appreciate ther close connection my school has with Stanford University and as a result of that, as well as personal connections, I obtained an undergraduate research assistantship last summer and an intership with the Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research laboratory at Stanford.

The best thing about my school is that it is hidden in a forest. It has a very calming effect on the mind and it lessens the stress that is associated wth school.

The surrounding environment.

Santa Cruz is an amazing little town that attracts some of the brightest and most friendly individuals in the country to it. My favorite aspect about UCSC, besides the excellent academic program, is the friendly environment and the excellent people available to meet. Only after one year at the University I have made a group of friends that I find very dear to me and hope to hold onto for the rest of my life.

The beauty of the campus and the things it offers to students. The campus is surrounded by redwoods and countless hiking trails. Not far away is the beach and boardwalk. There are various views of the ocean from campus and the buildings have been integrated into the wildlife perfectly. It's almost like being away at a retreat. Absolutely breathtaking and wonderful every day.

The most unique feature of the campus is that you live in a Forrest with the ocean only five mins away. It has an amazing view from campus and one of the best night views. At night you can see the stars amazingly!
