<p>It probably isn’t… however I have known about 7 people who went there they are all the dredlocks type. It may not be all but I’d have to say its prominent. When students who went there spoke about it at my school what they found funny I found creepy. I only got a few people of course.</p>

<p>UCSC is outstanding in astronomy. Great surfing in Santa Cruz, great skiing in Colorado.</p>

<p>Total out of state cost for UC-Boulder is a little over $40k a year. Total for UCSC is just under $46k a year. U of California fees are expected to rise by over 30% in the coming year; I don’t know what kind of increase is expected for Colorado. Out of state aid for U of California is very very limited. Not sure if that’s the case for Colorado.</p>
