yes... went to UCSC and lived there for several years afterwards...

its pretty fun your first time around...

they close down the pacific ave (i think thats what its called) so everyone can walk down...

its pretty fun! Its more fun if you have friends that live in town for the after party!

honestly a bit of everything...

very liberal town... loved it while i was there... smoked lots ganja!!!

surfers, hippies, homeless, punks, you name it, they're there...

as for college town...

hell nahhh!!!

after finishing school and living there for a while, most of the "locals" never liked the college crowd... and neither did i afterwards...

you'll have fun though, no doubt!
