Ask Me Anything About UCSC!
Hi! I’m a psychology student at UC Santa Cruz studying on the pre-med track. I remember feeling overwhelmed choosing a college so I’m here to give you an honest look at campus life. If you’re curious about academics, housing, dining, student organizations, or what it’s really like to live among the redwoods, I’d love to answer your questions and help you decide if UCSC is the right fit for you. I aim to make every tour relaxed and informative!
