<p>Can someone make a list of schools that are close the beach....</p>
<p>So far it is basically California, but can anyone post some other colleges that are by the beach in other states.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
UC Santa Cruz
UC San Diego
UC Los Angeles
Cal Poly
San Diego State
UC Santa Barbara
UC Irvine
Pepperdine
U Miami
...............</p>
<p>Well there's Salisbury which has Ocean City about 1/2 hr from the campus.</p>
<p>UNC-Wilmington</p>
<p>Have you tried doing a search? :rolleyes: </p>
<p>This depends on what you mean by "by the beach." For UCSB, UCSD, and Pepperdine you can literally walk to the beach from campus. For UCLA, UCB, UCI, San Diego State walking to the beach is not realistic - you would need a car.</p>
<p>And there are a bunch of Cal States that are just as close to the beach as UCLA and the others that require a car. E.g. Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State LA, Cal State San Marcos, Cal State Northridge, and several more.</p>
<p>Northwestern has two beaches.... neither of which is on an ocean though. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the link...</p>
<p>Grow up! The idea is to go to the best possible school for what you want to study no matter where it is. Do that, work hard, have a great career and then you get to go to the beach in style.</p>
<p>If you live by a beach, you will learn to hate it! Save you potential vacations from complacentcy, by applying someplace cold!</p>
<p>I live by the beach and my life feels like a constant vacation. Besides if you go to the school by the beach, essentially, there are lots of rich people around. Make some connections, get a decent education, and then things will start to fall into place.</p>

<p>I competely disagree. College is about the journey, not the destination. The studying is only a small part of the college experience--more important than a place to learn, college is place to grow and feel comfortable and learn about yourself and have a good time as you become a responsible contributing adult member of society.</p>
<p>That said, there are many beach-y colleges in Florida, like UMiami and Eckerd.</p>
<p>Eckerd College</p>

That's got to be one of the worst pieces of advice i've ever read.</p>
<p>I want to know too, like what schools are right on the beach? UCSD, UCSB, Pepperdine, what else? I'm talking about warm weather beaches, like vacation spots.</p>
<p>Umm..nothing beats University of Hawaii. It's like a 10 minute drive to the beach. Not to mention it has some of the best beaches in the world.</p>
