When I first began to look at schools in high school, I really wanted to attend a UC school and found that my choices were rather limited to schools that offered comprehensive humanities and social science department. At UC Santa Cruz I have a variety of avenues to pursue in the humanities department and the staff is absolutely amazing. As a sociology major and legal studies minor I have found all of my professors to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. An added bonus is the education one receives about the environment, our impact on it, and how we can change our practices to better our planet's future.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Waking up to the fresh smell of pine and deer is an amazing thing. UC Santa Cruz has a little bit of everything for everyone. With woods, the beach, and the city not to far away UC Santa Cruz can be enjoyed by everyone. The added bonus is the people, everyone is incredibly helpful and the amount of community involvement and free workshops is absolutely amazing. Education extends much farther than the university.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
School is incredibly expensive these days, but as they say you can't put a price on education. The classes are diverse, the atmosphere is one of a kind, and the people are something you just can't beat; the money I pay to go to school here is well spent.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be ready for a culture shock, especially if out of state.
Go to class, many say you don't need to, but you are paying for it regardless.
Embrace it, life only happens once and college is something you don't want to miss.
