Incredible school. I could create my own classes and find very supportive teachers to coach me; only wish I had made more use of it. Great small town, very warm people, but you need to be self-motivated here. It's a fabulous community in which to live. Yes, very liberal, very concerned about environment, and very sensitive to racial/ethnic issues. This college is as academically sound as UCLA or Berkeley, but the small classes allow you to interact with the teachers. Visit it if you can; most beautiful campus in the country.
Have you graduated yet? What field of art was your focus? Have you acquired any work? Considering sending our son here. We loved the campus and he is pretty laid back…Not into the sports scene or late nights out. UCSC seemed to be a good fit for him. Thanks!
