Need help choosing a college

Hey, guys! I’ve already applied to UCSC which is the #1 college I’m applying to. I have a good gpa, high SAT scores, and participated in a lot of extra curriculars in high school so hopefully I’ll get in this fall.

I’m already looking at which colleges I may want to apply to stay in when/if I am accepted to UCSC. I would really love to hear what you guys think about each college and if you have an idea of which one could fit me best.

I’ve applied with an Undeclared - Life and Health Science major (my second choice was Undelared - Environmental Science). I don’t know if I want to go into the medical field or do research, but I do know that my passions lie in biology or earth science/environmental science. I love art and plan to minor in it, so I would love to be around open-minded people who inspire me. One of the reasons I love UCSC so much is because it’s surrounded by nature and I love doing outdoor activities like hiking or running. I’m not huge on video games and am rather extroverted so I would love to be apart of a community where I feel like I’m apart of something and where there’s a lot to do.

That’s pretty much it. If my personality seems to fit with a college, please let me know which one :slight_smile: also, i love hearing stereotypes of each college so anything you write will be a great help. Thanks!

I cant really help because Im an applicant as well, but we have the same interests and applied major, so im gonna follow the thread! If you havent already, the virtual tour goes into some of the colleges and on the housing website, it describes some of them.
