Political Climate

Hey guys,

So I’m considering attending UCSC in the fall of 2015, but I am concerned with the stereotypes I have heard. I am from SoCal, and I pretty conservative politically (fiscally conservative, not as conservative on social issues, but not completely liberal). Though I do like politics, it is not my focus in college as I would be attending UCSC as a TIM (Technology Information Management) major. I have heard the stereotype of UCSC students that they are all hippie radicals, but I don’t know what to believe. My question is if I attend, will I be outcasted just because I am conservative? I’m going to visit the campus over spring break, and I hope I like it because I heard Santa Cruz is a beautiful area.
