worried about UCSC!

<p>out of the schools im considering (SDSU and UCSC), UCSC is my top choice because its a UC and the campus is really pretty and i liked the general feel that it had.</p>

<p>im just a little worried about the stereotype of hippes and it being a pot school. im not against either at all, im liberal myself and open to things, i just dont do a lot of drugs and dont want to be around people that are stoned 100% of the time. im all for having fun (; but im a work hard/play hard kind of person, and im hoping to find people like that at santa cruz.</p>

<p>so should i be worried? or excited to go?
oh and im looking at cowell, porter, or 10 for colleges. suggestions? (:</p>

<p>There’s gonna be alot of people like you who are worried about the stereotype. Don’t worry :), and I suggest 10(it’s the newest college so newer facility? It also has the Asian stereotype o.o, which for me would be a plus if I went to UCSC since I’m Asian…XD)</p>

<p>yeah im trying not to worry, but i tend to be the worrying type XD
so many stereotypes! haha. not that i dont like asian people but the school i went to was 80% asian, and i think i want to be around more diversity! (:</p>

<p>I got into SDSU too! Congrats many many applications not so many acceptances. Anyways, no matter where you go there will most likely be drugs. Yes, it may be more abundant at UCSC than another school but at least its mainly pot which isn’t that bad. But I think you should be fine. :)</p>

<p>The stereotype is true to a certain extent. I think you will be fine though. As long as you are okay with a little bit of partying and a little bit of drugs, this place will be perfect for you.</p>

<p>Keep in mind, there was a pretty big drug bust a year or two ago at SDSU, so that school is no better in the partying respect.</p>

<p>Yea I go to a school that is 80% asian(which completely drags down my ranking if the school didnt take it out, I was like 60-70% tile -.-. If UCB saw that, they would not even accept me -.-.</p>

<p>yeah im feeling better about there now (:
and also, im not really interested in SDSU at all, i applied as a safety but my tuition would be paid if i went there so thats why i was looking. and i would rather go to a UC than a CSU especially with all the budget cuts!</p>

<p>I applied to SDSU also, and I forgot I applied until i got my acceptance letter on mail, and because I was a loser I thought it was UCSD :(.(but I got UCSD mail later on :D) so I was foreshadowing :D</p>
