I did for a little while.

Before I found out about game design at Santa Cruz, I was set on attending Santa Barbara. I applied to both. Go into both. By the time I had received my acceptance letters, I had picked UCSC. There was a little nagging something in the back of my brain that I’m letting myself off easy by going to the “easier” of the UCs. By the end of my very first day here, that nagging feeling was gone. I met wonderful people who I couldn’t imagine trading prestige for. And that’s really what it came down to. I made friends in the first 24 hours that have suck with me since, and they’ve made UCSC the best college there is for me. No doubt.
