One of a kind campus with a variety of advanced programs to match most interests. Hey, they mapped the human genome here and did it first, so they must be doing something right. A good fit both for physically or intellectually active people and any combination of the two.

Professors are active in their field, top notch college/public radio station on board, and an unbeatable natural environment with highly competitive div 3 sports teams. I biked and walked all around campus even though shuttles are available. I took classes from stag at the top of their field, produced an educational documentary, got licensed then programmed radio shows, and played on a national championship tennis team. Unofficial fight song of UCSC is also top notch even though it came out after i graduated. Check it out...

Close to a world class city San Francisco and has the ocean and bay add a backdrop and playground. Worth a visit if you're in the area to see how the buildings mesh (ala Frank Lloyd Wright) and are tucked into the natural environment. If nothing else visit for a hike, bike, run, or trip to the arboretum. Enjoy!
