Describe your college experience

I think because I've made lots of friends and involved myself in clubs I've had a great experience. Santa Cruz is also a beach town so it makes things even better. Santa Cruz Is also surrounded my the forest and going to trails has been the most exciting thing to do. Meeting people from various backgrounds has also been a great experience. Going out and trying different places also makes things quite exciting. I've been to San Francisco and it's only a train ride away.

Tip for future students

One tip I wish someone had told me is if you're moving far away don't bring lots of clothes or or perfumes, what you need is essentials like medicines, laundry stuff, hygiene products, and bring some dry foods.

Favorite class

My favorite class has to be International Politics. Not only was the class engaging but the professor is amazing!! He was definitely passionate about the topic and I enjoyed learning about world theories.
