University of California - Santa Cruz Reviews
Rating 4.36 out of 5 11 reviews
Has a very welcoming environment and very dedicated professors, however since the school is so big it can be challenging to get from class to class or to get a professors office hours. On top of that most professors and will leave fairly early since the campus is located pretty far away from the city and the parking lot is intentionally out of the way. Also currently most students will have to have off campus housing since the school only provides housing for the first two years. Although, it can be cheaper living off campus, but all the downsides are that the school essentially becomes a commuter school and many on campus activities become very inconvenient to access.
My experience in Santa Cruz was very aloof, but in a way where things flowed naturally and everything was peacefully secluded. The trees swayed soft with their leaves rustling, and if you were outside you could feel the wind waving softly between the trunks. Walking to class was auspicious, having to rise and fall with the hills made one feel elevated overall in what they wanted to accomplish. the sound of buses kept a familiarity of never really being alone in such a secluded place, everything and everyone was so distant, but they felt like they were caressing your arms with just the sound of them stepping on leaves. It was nice. It was freeing.
School work was schoolwork, nothing was easy, even when you were doing things for easy classes. They were extremely challenging, but going headlong into those studies was fulfilling in the end, even if you did not manage to gain the grades you may have wanted. The satisfaction that comes from putting so much time and effort into the work you feel you have perfect as much as you can creates a sense of accomplishment into oneself that no one can upheave. It was worth it.
