University Reviews

Not too much to do unless you go out and make it happen. Not a party school at all. Great place for someone who wants to blaze and earn a degree in 5 years.

Not a party school. Get involved and you will do great. I highly recommend Greek life, it is way different than stereotypes say and absolutely NO hazing.

There is nothing going on here. I would not recommend.

Moved here from San Jose. There's nothing to do here so be prepared to spend a lot of your time doing absolutely nothing unless you're interested in volunteering and internships 24/7. One of the best areas for Biology, however, because of the sheer amount of opportunities available. ps. there are many UCSC students who commute here for opportunity

Best choice ive made.

good locationweather. near good foodsactivities. new development going up now that is near by will make this school much better. small classes good professors. good variety of courses.

The school crucially need to take into account Music & Arts. Music rooms looking crowded. Does not care about Music & Arts as equal to business or psychology majors. CloseParking hard to find. It's a walking/commuting campus. You won't find a campus as relaxed (not crowded) & friendly ambient as CSUMB & you see wildlife every day. Big plus!

A great school. Hardly feel homesick.

Big marine science program but not a big campus. I love that because it means more attentive profs, but the social aspect does feel a little high school-y. I love the location, sometimes I wish it was more college town/party but it fits my personality well. Very laid back and earthy campus and people. New catering company this year, good food!

If you're looking for a party or school pride kind of school, this probably won't be the school for you. However, if you're into the smaller school feel where some professors will actually care about you, then you'd enjoy yourself no matter what. College is what you make of it. Even though it can be kind of boring here, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

As in international student here for the year, I was expecting to have the time of my life. the campus is horrible & has made no effort to convert it from its army base days. It has dead land all around, the only green areas are by accommodations, the buildings are outdated, the food is horrible & bland, there is no social life, hard to find clubs

This university is what you would get in any other. As long as you network, and are open to activities you will love the school. People have to personally search for opportunities, because they are out there, and once you are involved the more you will love the school and how much effort they put towards students. Love it!

This campus struggles to truly advocate for students. Students face discrimination from professors and professional staff, especially housing staff that live in housing communities. Support resources exist, but are not fully utilized due to lack of outreach. Too much black and white, not enough grey area or flexibility for circumstances.

2nd semester here, transferred from MPC (I'm local)... never thought I'd like the JC more. Parking is an absolute joke & they OVERCHARGE for the annual parking pass ($300!); students STILL have to do a triathlon to get to class. It takes 3 months to get an academic counseling meeting & professors don't even know students' names. Go somewhere else!
