Are you a CA resident? What are your qualifications( stats)? You first need to be accepted before deciding if UCSC would be a good fit.

The campus is isolated so having a car will probably be needed eventually but there is bus service that can take you into town. Most Freshman are discouraged from bringing cars their first year anyways.

Research opportunities would be available on campus while most students would have internships during the summer. I would if possible visit the campus even informally so you can get a better perspective.

I suggest you do a little more research on the campus and surrounding area. Look into the ease of traveling back and forth during breaks and holidays and include transportation costs to your college budget.

Best of luck and make an informed decision once you have all your acceptances in hand.
