Fodor's Review:
The modern 2,000-acre campus of the University of California at Santa Cruz nestles in the forested hills above town. Its sylvan setting, sweeping ocean vistas, and redwood architecture make the university worth a visit. Campus tours, offered several times daily (reserve in advance), offer a glimpse of college life and campus highlights. They run about an hour and 45 minutes and combine moderate walking with shuttle transport. Half a mile beyond the main campus entrance, the UCSC Arboretum (1156 High St. 831/427-2998. www2.ucsc.edu/arboretum. Free. Daily 9-5, guided tours Sat. at 11) is a stellar collection of gardens arranged by geography. A walking path leads through areas dedicated to the plants of California, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
