<p>@thumbsupyeah Yup! Don’t worry. I am going to make the most of it. I’m excited for it to start.

I’m not saying that UCSC is a walk in the park, but what I am saying is that compared to higher tier UC’s, the courses are not as rigorous. I have asked a good number of people who go to UCSC, vs. several friends at other UC’s. Their work mentalities are completely different. UCSC being more laid back vs. UCB/UCD/UCI students who have a compelling need to focus, focus, focus. And that is why I am not too sure if I want to stay in that sort of atmosphere. </p>
<p>I mean, the general attitude of UCSC is very relaxed. Your friend could be the exception to the norm. so good for him! But I’m not a health science major… or an engineering major, so I probably won’t feel the pressure that they feel. </p>
<p>@Liesel, Free time is a good thing. But in my situation, having too much of it will make me want to stray away from my studies. Hopefully that won’t be the case.</p>
