University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) Campus

Taking a look at the beautiful OPERS Field where you can get physical or just rest. Located on the east side of campus, it has a beautiful view of the Monterey Bay.

Our social sciences division is the largest academic division at UCSC! Our social sciences division offers 25 undergraduate majors and 8 P.h.D programs. Our most popular major are psychology, cognitive science, and business management economics. We have awesome faculty members who lead a ton of research opportunities and because of this a recent study ranked the Division of Social Sciences at UCSC 1st in the nation among public universities for the quality of its research productivity.

There are many ways to around on campus. The most popular is walking, but with the terrain of the school, that can get tiring for some. So you can bike, skateboard, or take the bus to your class. Although, the school you pick shouldn't be heavily dependent on whether you have to walk or not.

Welcome to the amazing University of California, Santa Cruz. You are the lucky winner of a this awesome tour with me! I am a second year majoring in Psychology with a minor in Legal Studies. I am super excited to show you my home. I hope you have your walking shoes on! :)

Welcome to the Wellness Center! The Wellness Center is our main gym on campus and is located on the East side. Inside the gym we have Olympic weight lifting platforms, over 50 pieces of cardio equipment, weight racks, and 2 TRX training zones. UCSC students are allowed access to the gym with their student ID cards. The facility hours are subject to change but the gym is open 7 days a week. Students come here to enjoy a workout with excellent views of the Monterey Bay!

Brian shows the interior space of the largest lecture hall on campus. The other three hold 382, 224, and 207 students.

The Bay Tree bookstore is one of the primary places professors order their textbooks for classes, especially for introductory level classes and the sciences/math. Other professors, especially in the social sciences and humanities, prefer to order their books from the Literary Guillotine downtown. Textbooks are shelved in the upper stairs level, along with the computer center and school supplies. Upstairs we have an authorized Apple Store which is really convenient for students because the closest Apple Store is over the hill in San Jose. The lower level is dedicated mostly to Slugwear, UCSC memorobilia and non-required reading, including books written by many professors at UCSC. The bookstore also has a "dorm central" where they offer anything and everything needed to live comfortably in your dorm room.

Today is my first day of Spring quarter classes! Come along on my morning routine to see a little bit of my daily commute. In this video you will also see a preview of a typical lecture hall. The lecture hall is called the Earth and Marine Sciences lecture hall B206. It holds about 300 people.

The East Field is one of the biggest open fields here on campus. The field is located alongside OPERS and the Wellness Center. On this field we hold various events such as sporting games, our Holi festival, OPERS welcome week fest, graduation ceremonies, and many other events. The field is also always open for recreational use. Additionally, there is a track that runs along the circumference of the field which students enjoy if they want to take their workout outside of the Wellness Center. The field also offers stunning views of the sunset/sunrise as it overlooks our neighboring cities and the Monterey Bay!

In this video I talk a little about what it's like commuting on campus and around Santa Cruz. We have various bus systems that make it easier to get from one destination to another in a timely fashion. However, during popular times, there is a bit of a wait to get on a bus that isn't so crowded. Make sure you leave for class at least 30 minutes before it starts!

If you made it this far, shout out to you. Thanks for coming along with me on this journey! Like I mentioned in the video, if you happen to be in the area or need more information about UCSC, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks!

The college system at UCSC is a little different from other schools. You are affiliated with 1 of 10 colleges of your choosing. Every college has a different theme ranging from Science and Technology to Diversity and Social Justice. It makes a large campus feel smaller and like a community.
