<p>Thanks for the reply Techhexium. An on campus apartment was really what I think I had in mind, unfortunately looking at the website, it appears that transfer students would have to choose between the transfer community (which I think is just a dorm in Porter), uc town center which isn’t actually on campus, and the Village. I’m not really looking for a “college experience”, that part of my life has long passed. I brought up the “old guy at the party” thing just as an analogy of someone who looks out of place. I have no intention of attending college parties. I’m more interested in a good steak and a microbrew. I guess I’m really wondering if there are adult students who live on campus, and what that experience would be like, or if I’d be better off just renting a place off campus. I don’t really know the santa cruz area at all. Does anybody have any thoughts on places to live near campus? I’m going to try to plan a trip when I can get a couple of days off and see the area. What should I check out when I’m there?</p>
