In reply to the discussion: My daughter got her first College acceptance letter! UC santa cruz! ** UPDATE: GO SLUGS! [View all]FirstLight
(14,518 posts)52. thanks for the tips!
I looked a bit at the rental market...definitely better then here in Tahoe or even the Bay for that matter!!!
She's a transfer student and has a partner and pets, so on campus isnt really an option.
Then again, she's also thinking she could avoid moving for another year and do most of her classes online ...she's pretty nervous about moving to the big scary city. I personally think Santa Cruz will be less of a culture shock since she's used to the mountain-town vibe.
But then again, I grew up in Oakland Hills/Berkeley and we have friends down there and visit, she's familiar with the area and has people there she can reach out to if needed...

That's my alma mater; &, at least when I attended, there wasn't a finer school for an undergraduate

That's awesome! She sounds amazing and I appreciate your pride. Best part of being a parent IMHO.
