I made this video five years ago as my Kresge College core course final project. I've since moved on to grad school at Columbia where I'm studying film producing, but I'm still so glad to see that so many people are finding this little project each year around college selection time.
UCSC is truly an experience. Be sure to make the most of it no matter where you end up.
Upon arrival in late 70's the checker in bookshop asked why I wanted letter grades when everyone at nearby Stanford gets all A's? Wish I knew at the time what I know now! UCSC has come a long way,as always lots of the kids go on to professional schools or the English majors go on o manage pizza joints. Some grains of truths to the stereotypes, poor inner city kids same as my time at Oakes, smart premeds etc at Crown and spoiled rich mostly lazy ones from Bay area. Cant beat proximity to UCB/SF

The majority of people at UCSC are way too chill to care about cliches or to stereotype you. You'll have an awesome time at UCSC no matter what college you're at. I freaked out at first after choosing Cowell and hearing later that it was the "jock/prep/poser/abominable snowman/whatever" dorms- it wasn't, and I had the best time ever (plus my room had the best view on campus).
UCSC's big on equality and not judging other people. That's why its college and not high school, people. ;)
I fucking love UCSC..'Ba film and digital 2001'...best freaking years of my life, we studied hard, we partied hard...best uc, better than berkeley and ucla due to it's location! nestled against the beach plus a beautiful redwood forest..ever been in that weird cave a ways offf of Porter? all sorts of treasures like that.
I GOT INTO UCSC!!!!YES......IM HEADING TO OAKS COLLEGE..HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM IN FOR!!!!!......dis whole collge thing is trippy though..i dont know how this is gonna work out...YYEAAHH UCSC!!!!......dis UC better not suck....
got in and going! and people from Hawaii that have gotten admitted to SC? anyways super excited, i have no idea which college im going to choose though..
Merrill is the secret weed school. We're right next to the forest with a bunch of "forts" to smoke in. Every one here smokes. Merril= the secret pot school
god i hate the guy at the beginning. I was in the floor above him last year and he fuckin freaked out when his remote ran out of batteries and no one had any.
Aw, this made me really miss school. I was stevenson, they have a year long core class that everyone complains about, and no body knows about when they pick colleges.
this year has been better---fewer disruptions, riots, protests, crimes, etc. Gee what happened? Did somebody or something put their feet down? Keep up the good work. You guys are our nation's future---for better or worse. Please remember that!
I read correctly. You said, "This year has been better- fewer disruptions, riots, protests", to which I reply that you sound like an ignorant asshole!
@IdolHans since writing that last comment i have become extremely apathetic. i longer care about much, though i still go to ucsc. i dont participat ein protests and barely pass my classes. i rule
LOL good one... I don't think 9/10="that's where all the Asians are". I mean, there really aren't that many Asians at 9/10, IMO... slightly more than the others? Yes, but not by far. I think 9 & 10 are a lot more diverse than the other colleges =] And engineering students? Really? Sounds a little questionable to me...
i'm about to go to study there in california. i do not knwo whether i will be accepted in berkeley, ucla or santa cruz but, anyway, thanks about your video dude.
