<p>Hello, so I was just trying to choose between the Santa Cruz or Anacapa dorms for my first choice in housing as a freshman, and I was wondering which one was better?
I know the layouts are the same and everything, but is one closer to the beach by far? Or is one by more classes? Or which one is a better first choice?
Thanks! :)</p>
<p>I know Anacapa is nearer to the Science classes but Santa Cruz is closer to the beach. Does a five minute walk really matter?</p>
<p>they are pretty much the same, i dont think it really matters</p>
<p>this year anacapa has a 24hr quiet hour policy so that it’s eerily quiet as the residents and guests keep their voices down. as compared to santa cruz, it can be noisy sometimes but people are usually careful about their volume</p>
