Times are hard and UCSC understands that. During your first week you will be given a coupon booklet with great deals. Many places like Denny's also give you student discounts. And remember it doesn't cost a penny to go enjoy a nice day at the beach.

It is definitely worth the tuition. It becomes a little more overwhelming when you're an out-of-state student, but if you're a CA resident, go to UCSC!

Very pricey but it is a UC school. There is a lot of research oppurtinties and the classes are a great learning opportunity. Im happy I have the opportunity to attend a UC school.

The UC system is very expensive, and the price is only going up. I am very worried about the debt I will have to pay off after I graduate, but the experiences I've had have been priceless.
