Livia

School almost feels like summer camp. You are surrounded by the outdoors but have a cute downtown & the beach just 5 minutes away. It's a very spread out campus with an ecclectic group of students. You can kind find every kind of person at UCSC, not just hippies and potheads. Groups are usually tight knit and people will know if you are a usual of that scene. But people are always very open and welcome if you make the first move. Greek life made my college experience at UCSC.

Our school is a fun-loving, extremely liberal, environmentally-consious, academically-focused school with a massively diverse student body (many of whom are hippies walking around campus playing the guitar and singing to random folk). We are located in the middle of a redwood forest, 10 min. from the ocean, and 30 min. from the mountains. We have a museum on campus (not for art but for herpatology/ornithology, entymology). Our bus drivers are super friendly. Our mascot is a banana slug. You can't get any more awesome than that. We love to work hard and play even harder!
