How effective are University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) virtual tours?

It depends how you use them. University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) is a hustling, bustling campus and community. The beauty of University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) virtual tours on CampusReel is that authentic video tours, made by real students, can be spectacular at capturing the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) vibe. We also go well beyond the confines of the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) campus by taking you around Santa Cruz. In traditional virtual tours, you will mostly see still, unengaging images and will not see the surrounding area at all – which is why CampusReel virtual tours are so important.

Can a University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) virtual tour replace a traditional in-person visit?

If you cannot visit University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) in person, then we can honestly say that we believe a CampusReel virtual tour of University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) is absolutely the most effective and holistic way to understand the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) people, campus and community. However, if you do plan on visiting University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) and other colleges in person, we strongly recommend that you at least prescreen your college options on CampusReel before spending the time and money to visit. Most prospective families find that as soon as the step on campus, they instantly know whether or not they like the school – but they’ve already spent all that time and money getting there! Our goal is to eliminate all the time and money visiting University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) in person until you can make a strong educated guess that it’s worth the investment.

What places can I virtually tour at University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC)?

For your convenience, below is a list of University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) places you can virtually tour on CampusReel.

What are the downsides of a University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) virtual tour?

The downside of virtually touring University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) on CampusReel is that, admittedly, our technology does not yet mimic the exact feeling and experience of visiting University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) in person. We are working on this though! A common request we also receive from users is to add more perspectives (e.g. student guides) to the platform. Rest assured we are working on adding more CampusReel guides to the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) virtual tour. However, our selection of guides still far outweighs the available perspectives of traditional virtual tour platforms.

What are the benefits of a University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) virtual tour?

The most obvious benefit of a University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) virtual tour on CampusReel is that is can be accessed from anywhere. This can save families a lot of time and money compared to visiting University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) in person. Another often overlooked benefit of a CampusReel virtual tour is that it goes far beyond a traditional in person tour University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC). Campus visits are limited both in time and scope – how are you expected to truly understand a college in a 1 hour tour? That’s why we stress the added benefit of CampusReel virtual tours – experience University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Santa Cruz during different seasons, days of the week, and even hours of the day. What’s game day like? What is finals week life? Again, traditional virtual touring platforms don’t include this benefit.

Sajia's morning routine + typical lecture hall
Campus
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.

Lecture hall #2
Academics
This video talks a little about how classes work at UCSC and also shows you another preview of a lecture hall. UCSC runs on a quarter system which means classes run for 10 weeks at a time then we have a break in between. On average, students take 3 classes at a time and then supplemental discussion sections as well. Classes for first and second years are usually always big lectures, but as you declare your major and become more concentrated, you will have classes with no more than 35 students. This lecture hall is called Thimann Lecture hall and holds about 200 students.

Holi festival at ucsc
This video shows UCSC's 5th annual Holi Festival. Unfortunately, I was not able to film an intro because of the dust getting into my camera. However, Holi, known as the Festival of Colors or as the Festival of love, is an ancient Hindu religious festival. The Holi festival has created a positive environment at UCSC during the spring where we can see students celebrating love through colors. Students are seen playfully throwing colored powder up in the air and on other students regardless of their race and ethnicity. The festival has a significance of bringing people together through laughter and bridging the social gap between students on campus. The Holi Festival is sponsored by the UCSC Student Union Assembly, Indian Student Association, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and the Dean of Students Office.

Men's volleyball game day!
In this video I give you a quick tour of Rachel Carson college which is another residential college. In addition, you get a preview of what game days are like at UCSC. UCSC is a D3 school part of NCAA. Although we are not a huge sporting campus, students always show up to support their fellow slugs on game days. The game takes place in the West Field House which is our second gym on campus. Though this gym is a lot smaller in comparison to the Wellness Center on the East side.

Check out my favorite spot to take a nap between classes or watch the sunset. The Porter Squiggle is famous for its "mysteriousness". Students love to hangout here between classes or take really cool pictures. Try Googling "Porter Squiggle" and see the plethora of creative photos taken here.

Welcome to the quarry plaza!
Campus
The Quarry Plaza is where everything comes together. In the Quarry, we have our bookstore, express store, cafe Iveta, Student Union assembly (which is our student government system), SOAR (Student organization advising and resources), and the Bike Co-op! The Quarry is also a place where students like to hangout in between classes because it's central to our busiest part of campus. Students will often hold fundraisers offering pastries, drinks, and my personal favorite, thai iced tea! In addition to the fundraisers, students also hold protests, recruitment sessions, and concerts here. Daniel Caesar performed in our Quarry Plaza in the Spring of 2017!
