<p>For the choices you have for housing, you should go for the Village or off-campus. The transfer community in Porter which I heard is loud, obnoxious and filled with drugs. (I misspoke eariler. I don’t know much about Porter but it is the party college). We’re all adults by the way but people of your age most likely live in Graduate Student Housing (which fits < 100 people so most graduates live off-campus) so I think you’re better off getting to know more about Santa Cruz. The city has a very local vibe. I’m trying to learn more about the city though. You should definitely check its subreddit community to find out more about the city (your questions can be found by searching at the top right of the page)</p>
