Help Me Choose UCSC College! Please!!!

<p>I play CS:S, TF2, Starcraft, WC3 (dota and melee) and I sometimes play WoW, but I haven't gotten really into it yet. Personally my favorite games are RTS's</p>

<p>i don' know man, if my parents let me buy both desktop and laptop, then we could play CS:S and TF2 together . but they don't want me get a desktop cuz they're afraid that it will distract me from studying.</p>

<p>It's all about CS 1.6 / Smash / Unreal / GH series.</p>

<p>I'm like half of the people in this thread. White, into computers without being an ubernerd, I play some guitar.. I'm basing my college choice entirely off the community. I love Porter's central area, but there are hippies. Cowell seems chill but lacking community, and Crown seems too nerdy. C19 too preppy. Oakes.. I'm a fan of hiphop, but more of dnb / trance.</p>

<p>I really should've visited campus. No idea where to go.</p>

<p>Like I said, I'm going to Porter. I don't think theres too many more hippies than there are anywhere else on campus, and apparently theres a gaming scene there too. In my opinion the gaming scene there would be like the less nerdy ones compared to crown. I would think the Film & Digital Media people would play games, and they go to Porter. </p>

<p>And ya ZeroK!!! I think you can convince them, just tell them that having your stuff saved on your desktop would be safer, and then you can use the laptop for notes and just transfer the things over from your laptop to the desktop. I mean what if you had your term paper nearly done on your laptop, you drop it on the way to class, and the hard-drive stops working!!</p>

<p>lol Thayle, i'll try</p>

<p>Seeing as I'm going to be a computer game design major, I'm not too afraid of not having anywhere to game...but we could almost start a group just from the people on this forum, it seems.</p>

<p>oh god this turned into a gaming thread....</p>

<p>but i chose porter too :)</p>

<p>porter + gaming + people in this forum = AWESOME TIME AT SANTA CRUZ!</p>

<p>-gaming and you got it right :)</p>

<p>well bananaslug its more like:
porter + people in this forum = AWESOME TIME AT SANTA CRUZ!
but
porter + gaming + people in this forum = AWESOME TIME AT SANTA CRUZ!!</p>

<p>See what i did there?</p>

<p>okay okay. as long as you dont have to game to have an awesome time haha</p>

<p>definitely not.</p>

<p>which reminds me, are any of you into tabletop games? ccgs?</p>

<p>will anyone play scattegories with me or scrabble? :[ i have no friends.</p>

<p>i'll play apples to apples with you andandy!</p>

<p>Haha I'm a major gamer too, and I'm also in the game design major. I chose Cowell for 1st, and Crown for 2nd. I'm thinking of bringing a laptop if I get one to play PC games, and maybe my xbox or wii...
I dunno. But yeah, I'm sure there'll be gamers anywhere you go.</p>

<p>We should all meet up sometime though. :D</p>

<p>I must admit I've never played xbox ever...so I need a friend with one!</p>

<p>Haha yeah!
I just got mine for Christmas this year.
Wait, so what did you put for your top 5 Vewong?</p>

<p>If I remember correctly: Crown, Porter, Eight, Nine and Cowell...</p>

<p>Cool, cool.</p>

<p>What colleges did you guys get into? I'm at Crown.</p>
