"Overall, my undergraduate university had a strong academic department with dedicated faculty within my program. However, my university is weak in the psychology department as the program itself did not have focus on the discipline of psychology that I wanted to learn. Additionally, many of the strong faculty members were visiting lecturers, so office hours and research experience was limited in that sense. Regardless, I enjoyed my education and felt prepared to complete additional graduate school."

"UCSC is an amazing school. Although it is a UC campus with a large student population, it does not feel like a big school. As a psychology major, i found that teachers are excited to get to know their students and that classroom sizes were not too big. The psychology community was very close and I felt like peers were always willing to help each other succeed."

"UCSC is an incredible school, with arguably one of the most gorgeous campuses in the nation. The university is full of students who are accepting, genuine, different, and openminded in a way I have not experienced anywhere else. It's enlightening and inspiring. The professors are kind, intelligent and passionate - though some courses do implement a lot of work that may be daunting at times. There are, however, many resources on campus to help with that, such as tutoring, study sessions, library floors dedicated to discussion, and more. The quarter system is not easy, but that is to our benefit! It's challenging in a good way: it sets you up to succeed later in life. Isn't that what we're all looking for? Go banana slugs!"

"UCSC has had a huge impact on me, I was affiliated with college ten--with the theme of Social justice and community. I never thought I would be a leader but that college has helped me grow and develop as a leader over 4 years. I believe that every lesson I have learned from that college will carry with me through my career and more."
