UC Berkeley is also considered a “pot smoking” school. And UCSC is ranked number 72 in the US News Week top colleges in the US. That’s pretty good considering none of the CSU’s made the top 150 (SDSU came in at 183). The only reason why people look down upon UCSC is because they compare it to UCLA and UCB. And who cares about rankings, we benefit from having Silicon Valley right by and tons of people hiring from there :)</p>
