I've known about the Cruz for years and I'm still filled with awe. *blinks* I swear... this university was BUILT for ... Forgive me, I'm obsessed, obsessed with the city, the school, the setting--obsessed with everything about this place. It's my one ticket out of my parents home. I've been in community college for far too long and keep having my transfer plans delayed due to cuts. But enough talk, The Campus ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ~ Awesome artist renderings that truly capture the university's idyllic setting: ![]() ![]() Santa Cruz City and Beyond ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Rawr, whut? How many other universities are as integrated with nature? Inside a redwood forest? How many are in the mountains and yet so close to the ocean that it dominates the panorama? How many are just uphill from a badass city like Santa Cruz, California?!? =3 The University logo: ![]() The native banana slug is the university's mascot. It's so weird/cute, it's hella tight. |

Looks kinda like UBC to me XD We have the mountains to the north, the ocean to the south/north/west, and the same topography and plantlife as in the pictures you just had. Long live Elfland sign was win though. Makes me wish I was more involved in UBC's crazy clubs. |

And I'm proud of it! =3 UC Santa Cruz was founded as an alternative school, a showcase for progressive education back in the 60s. The logo is another testament of its alternative heritage. Rather than picking a fierce (even fictional) mascot, UCSC chose the banana slug, which is native to the forests the surround the campus as part of this symbolism. @ Sunny: Cool, another West Coaster. Isn't UBC in Vancouver, though? Not exactly on the open ocean like Santa Cruz, though I see the similarities. BTW, there is actually a place called "Elfland" on campus. ~ Annnd, now to get to why I revived this thread. The Cruz has canceled winter 2011 admissions due to state-wide budget cuts, and hence, I have decided to apply to two other universities rather than wait another three-quarters of a year to re-apply. As of now, my dream school will have to be put aside - maybe on hold for graduate school if that works out. Nonetheless, I'm staying on the Northern California coast for my proposed transfer colleges, anyway, so the vibe won't be completely different, if not, very similar. |
