Going to UC Santa Cruz is a unique experience because no other university can compare to the culture and atmosphere it encapsulates. A prospective student should love nature because this university is simply magical. The campus is engulfed beneath refreshing green redwoods, salty ocean air and hiking trails that take you on memorable adventures. Also the diversity amongst the campus is infatuating. You will learn just as much from your peers as you will from your professors. Each individual has a story and the students are open to being themselves. Your peers at UCSC will truly make your attendance worthwhile.

People interested in Physics or Astro-Physics. We have a great program here. This college is VERY liberal and people of that mid set will feel at home here. We were voted #1 Vegan-friendly college. Being evironmentally friendly is something most people here try to be. Anyone who feels they relate to this should attend UCSC.

UCSC is great for the intellectual, theoretical-thinking type of person. Courses vary from major to major, but the bulk of the classes you take will be looking at the big picture. There are plenty of opportunities to intern while enrolled, both within and outside the academic institution, but you need to go after them. It can be a great school if you will likely get advanced degrees and/or have trouble knowing specifically what you will do after graduating.

Dannah

The kind of person who should attend this school is someone who is very open-minded and not quick to judge. There is so much diversity on this campus that you meet all kinds of people. This person should also be somewhat of a free spirit, someone who is independent and can think for himself or herself. Also, given the location and terrain of this campus, I would also suggest someone who likes to be outside and likes nature to go to this school. However, after considering all of this, all kinds of people will feel welcome at this university.

They should be open to new ideas and open about meeting new people. Santa Cruz is still in a way 1960. It is a pretty hippie and laid-back school. Santa Cruz is for those who like to party but kick back sometimes too. It is also for those who like to study in a beautiful nature enviroment. Walking alongside a deer going to class is common,
