I got into UCSC. It's a really good school, but not necessarily my first choice. I was just rejected from UCLA and waitlisted at UCSD so I'm trying to look into my other options.

The main reason I wanted those two above other schools is that I'm very much a city person. I want a world to exist outside of the college I'm attending and to have access to a city with its own culture in the way that's present in Westwood.

I want to get a better understanding of the SC culture and life. I like a fast-paced lifestyle with things to do. What is SC student life like? Are there always things to do or does it just feel like you're in the middle of nowhere?

Please help I'm so lost in making my college decisions and it's freaking me out
