Is UCSC a good school?

Just wondering but is UCSC a good school to attend? I heard there are a lot of hippies and people just do drugs there. Might be wrong.

UCSC is a very good school. Don’t worry about the reputation. Take a tour and see how you like it.

and I heard santa cruz crime among state’s highest, is that mean santa cruz is a really dangerous city and even in campus?

Sadly, you’ll find crime everywhere - including bucolic ocean-side communities like Santa Cruz.

Talk to some current students when you tour the campus, see if they feel safe walking around at night.
