Do you happen to know what research opportunities are like at UCSC compared to the other UCs? I remember just looking at UCSC's website and being so impressed by all of the opportunities and labs that they were doing and how undergrads could participate but I wasn't really able to find anything similar explaining opportunities so in-depth on my other top UCs website (Davis and SB).
There's a lot(especially for biological sciences), I'm planning to make a video about it soon! :) I would look at the professors within the department that you want to major in here to see specifically, because most professors here are doing their own research and have labs you can get involved with
hi! idk if you’ll see this but I’m thinking about going to UCSC this fall, and I live about 8-9ish hours away from Santa Cruz. I’m wondering how I would like visit home and stuff if I don’t have a car my freshman year
do you guys know if UCSC is good for pre-med or any pre-med majors?? I got accepted to UCSC and I am trying to become a Physicians Assistant. and now I am wondering if there are any programs for this? thank you!:)
Hey! Yeah for sure there’s a lot of organizations that you can join that are pre-med oriented. I’ve heard they provide help with like choosing classes, the mcat and basically prepare you to apply for medical school :)
You may not have any experience or know about this, but how would you compare UCSC and UCSB? And I never heard of parking after 5 pm is there anywhere where I can find more info on that?
I don't know a ton about UCSB but I'll do my best lol I was considering UCSB as well for my undergrad, I applied for aquatic bio there bc that's the closest they have to marine bio (what I study at UCSC). Both schools are great for those majors and bio in general, since UCSC is really close to the ocean (specifically the ecology department) there's a lot of good field work/research opportunities for those majors and would assume the same of UCSB. (I don't really know much about other programs at UCSB but I assume since it's a UC there's a good emphasis on research and internships etc). The main reason I went with SC is bc of the reputation of SB as more of a party school (obviously i don't go there so this was just what I heard) but honestly i feel like that's just what you make of it. I would look into the majors/departments at both schools and use that to make a decision if it's between them-I'm highly considering SB for grad school so I honestly really like both. And for the parking the West & East Remote lots are free after 5pm everyday, taps.ucsc.edu/parking/park-for-free.html
Haha I’ve committed going to UCSC this upcoming school year and the campus beauty was also a major factor in me deciding to attend there 😂
Thank you! For all of this videos, it really helped me make my decision. I decided to go to UCSC for the fall!!
would a transfer student that is planning to live in an apartment need a car? Also how long do students walk from place to place on campus?

Could you take the train home? San Diego has a train straight up.
when you said your high school area was toxic and unhealthy i just KNEW you meant the bay area ahahah
Hi, can you make us a book list for Marine biology majors?
Can you make a video of the courses you’ve taken in Marine Biology? I also want to major in that field.

IS UCSC A GOOD COLLEGE FOR EDUCATION?
