<p>I am pretty sure it is not easy. I’ve heard from many current students that you actually do have to study and focus on work.
I think the person is just more concerned about the prestige one thinks of when they hear UCB or UCLA as opposed to UC Santa Cruz…
But I am not going to judge until I spend at least a quarter here.
Oh and yeah just go to UC santa cruz I am sure if you want to do nothing but school work all the time you will be able to transfer.</p>
