ucsc has pretty bad surroundings. i’d go to a state college over ucsc.

Bad surroundings? The weather in Santa Cruz is terrific, the campus is very nice, and beach is nearby. San Francisco is about an hour and a half away. On the negative side, the campus is very spread out. I’m sure you know about the large hippie population. Also realize that marijuana use is rampant (which may be a good or a bad thing for you )

Still, it would be very difficult for me to turn down UCSB. Don’t reject it without visiting. Spend a night partying in IV; you’ll probably change your mind ;)
