University of California-Santa Cruz Top Questions

I love my school not only for the academics and opportunities that it is providing me, along with the great students and faculty. But by far my favorite part about UCSC is the forest surrounding campus. UCSC has taken great care not to industrialize its surroundings. I love living in the forest, it is refreshing to see nature all around and a beautiful view of Monterey Bay outside your window. The deer and squirrels walk around campus like it?s their own territory, which, in my opinion is a great thing.

It is in an incredibly beautiful setting. In order to get to some classes you have to walk through the forest. Students are very open and there is generally a very positive, happy vibe around campus.

The overall relaxing atmoshpere.

The people who attend and work there.

the environment of the school made me feel like i had made the right choice in my school selection. the location in the santa cruz mountains, near the beach, felt familiar and comfortable. the social setting also made me feel at home. i was able to learn how to make my own choices in life - both socially and academically - and i feel this experience allowed me to grow as an independant and responsible person.

Everything...

The campus and location are beautiful, the faculty are stellar and the facilities are quite good.

the open and friendly atmosphere, both in and out of the classroom

The location. We are located in a red wood forest which provides an excellent learning environment. We are close to the ocean and the entire monterey bay can be seen from our campus. The whole thing is very nice.

The school has a very relaxed atmosphere, as well as a beautiful and calming environment. But the best thing about the school are the cool people I have met that have become my closest friends. If it werent for them, school would not become such a memorable experience.
