hi! I’m a high school junior and just went on a tour of the campus today! I really like that the UCSC is broken into separate schools but I don’t know which one is best for me. Here are some facts about me that should be taken into consideration.

I love that the campus is outdoorsy and it’s BEAUTIFUL but I would love to be at a college that maybe is a little bit more sunny and has more open spaces to lay out on.

i have absolutely no idea what the dorms at any of the colleges are like but I would like one that’s not tiny!

I really like to be socially active. I love to go to parties and go out with friends and am less into “just chilling.” It would be really great to be at a college with a busy social scene.
-distance to classes isn’t really an issue for me since it’s so easy to just hop on a bus!
-I’m not too picky about the people, but I would love yo be surrounded by people who really want to enjoy the college experience and do more than just study all the time. I also have heard some stereotypes about colleges 9/10 being preppy and bratty and I’m wondering if that’s true at all.

Well that’s pretty much it! I would really appreciate some advice to please feel free to comment! Thanks!
