This post is inspired by one of my new best friends, Naviance. With my mind barren and empty of ideas, the college search option on this website is heaven sent. And it has chosen. UC Santa Cruz, it is your time to shine.
Some quick facts about UCSC, in a very condensed form. UCSC tuition is currently between $13,416 / $36,294, with room and board an additional $14,727. The current enrollment at UCSC is 17, 187 fully enrolled students.
Now that all that logistics is out of the way, here is my impression of the college itself. Located on a funky beachfront town, Santa Cruz is a beautiful campus and easy access to both the Santa Cruz boardwalk and Mary Anne's Ice Cream ( the second best ice cream in the state)!
UCSC offers over eighty majors (including Biotechnology!) to get degrees in. They advertise strongly on their school of Engineering, Jack Basking. They particularly advertise their degrees in nanotechnology and genomics.
Overall, UCSC seems like a great choice of school. It is in a nice small urban area with a beautiful view, combined with ample academics for those who are devoted to their learning. Although it will never hold the special place in my hear as does UC Berkeley, it is a choice I will seriously consider.
P.S. They have the best Mascot ever.... THE BANANA SLUG!
