This is the review from school student & family, not from tourists just visiting the campus.

The quality of the school professors is hit & miss case. Only about 1/3 of the teachers/professors really care about teaching & students. Basically, you will need to prepare to learn by yourself in this school. Also, it’s hard to register in the classes that you want. The school definitely over-enroll students.

Food in the Dorm cafeteria at UCSC is beyond awful. The kitchen food preparer can’t even cook simple pasta. Just to give you one of many examples of how “lazy” they are in terms of preparing for the dorm food. The tofu they provide is simply coming out from Tofu container & spread some salt on it. This is how they try to meet the requirement of providing Vegan choices. Most of the food choices are not healthy at all. They use lots of processed meat.

Mommy went there when she was a youngling and wanted to show the thing that was once in her tummy ( me ) the campus and woods.The woods are great and there is a ten minute path through the forest and you can see woodland animals. The dorms are very nice and same with the people. There is also some cool things near and outside the campus like when you are driving to the campus in the fields there is a cooool red sculpture and there are some nice beaches and little cafes ( check out cafe Brazil because mommy worked there as a youngling ) .There is a lot of cool things so you should definitely check it out because I had an amazing time we only had like two hours but I could stay in Santa Cruz with all the cool things and the campus for at least a day.(written by a nine year old).
