University of California at Santa Cruz
University of California at Santa Cruz 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.
UCSC Arboretum. Half a mile beyond the main campus entrance, the UCSC Arboretum 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. 1156 High St., 95064. 831/427-2998. arboretum.ucsc.edu. $5. Daily 9-5, guided tours by appointment.
