<p>You might be thinking of UC Santa Barbara or UC San Diego because you can’t just see the ocean from most of the UCB campus and the weather is pretty temperate. Cool and foggy in the summer, pretty falls, rainy winters. And the ocean is sooooo cold. My dad lived in Stinson/Bolinas area when I was growing up and unless it was a hot july day, it was too cold to swim much!</p>
<p>The US has many lovely places (as does the UK) but don’t overglamorize it. Most of the US is just like the UK. Pretty regular with nice places and dreary places.</p>
