They have no tutoring options and long talks about why things matter for his future were just not enough. There are really no repercussions for not showing up and not completing work. I'm sure the school is great for self-motivated kids but they absolutely failed us on every single level. Our son was asked to leave over some pot that was brought by another student (grown by that student's mom). The student who brought the contraband is still there. What a waste of money and time. Be cautious.

I love me some Bosch Baha'i School! I have been coming here since I was 13 years old. At every…read morestage of my life, this place has held a special place in my heart. I went to college at UC Santa Cruz and would come up on the weekends to do volunteer service frequently over several years. I have been out of college for several years and no longer live in Santa Cruz, but still come up from time to time. It's just one of those places that keeps drawing you back. They have great weekend sessions that you can sign up for on a variety of topics. Additionally, this is a great space that you can rent out for weddings, reunions, retreats, etc. They have a variety of conference rooms, cabin style sleeping accommodations, play areas and a basketball court as well as a pool and wading pool for the warmer months of the year. You can tell that the people that work and volunteer at Bosch know how special it is and put their love into taking the best care of the campus.

Helping your child through the college process can be one of the most stressful experiences. As a…read moreparent, all we want is the best for our children. I can honesty say, having Pat Moore on your side is the best descision you will EVER make! She makes the whole process actually very enjoyable! i honestly believe with her on our side, my daughter is getting the best guidance and has a "secret weapon" in the college process. She's extremely likable, and what a "firecracker"!!! She has developed a great relationship with my daughter, built her confidence and has my daughter more motivated then ever( her GPA has reflected this) As a parent, if you want to be stress free , provide your child with the best and make the process of college smooth, give Pat a call! Best decision I ever made!

Pat has been there for me throughout my academic and professional career which extends over ten…read moreyears. She has made it her personal mission to see that I obtain my dreams. I am so grateful that her passion and dedication reached me when I was in high school, and that she continues to be present in my life today. I can rely on her to provide guidance and realistic expectations, and she has become a friend in which I can confide in as well, especially when those hard times are ever present. She most truly is the quintessential mentor all adolescents need while planning their future academic and professional endeavors. Pat Moore is a knowledgable, passionate, and steadfast leader that has the ability to make your dreams a reality like she did for me.

Maybe it's just me but I LOVE Crown! Yeah, we should probably get more remodels for a lot of our…read morebuildings, but on the bright side we're one of the oldest colleges here at UCSC--we have HISTORY. I'd like to address a lot of the issues that came up: "Crown is anti social and full of geeks/nerds/gamers" Ok, I'll admit it, we probably do have a lot of gamers here...but we're NOT the only "gamer" college. There's multiple "houses" within Crown, some houses are "gamer" houses, and others aren't at all. It just depends where you end up, if you don't like gaming you won't suddenly become a gamer once you come to Crown. Also, why is being a "geek" or "nerd" a bad thing? I think of it as a compliment, we take our studies seriously and who is normal these days anyways? "Hills, hills, hills" Freshman 15? How about NEGATIVE freshman 15. Yes, a lot of people actually lose weight after coming to UCSC due to how much you end up walking, and thanks to the hill leading up to Crown our legs gets toned along with our tummies. After about a week, you honestly don't mind the hill that much anymore--unless you're just extra tired a certain day, but there are less steep ways to get up to Crown. "Food" Our DH is probably one of the best ones on campus. Our salad bar, fruit bar, and sandwich bar is one of the best because of how many options we have. Even though our DH closes on the weekend we have Banana Joe's and Taco's Moreno's that are walkable distance from almost anywhere at Crown/Merrill.

All the complaints about Crown College are kind of ridiculous. A college dorm is not meant to be a…read morepalace, and in California we have these little things called hills. Crown College is a nice place to live, and because of its position on top of the hill, it is much quieter and more peaceful than the rest of the school. The dorms are a little funky, but so are a lot of other places on campus, because the school was not built yesterday! If you put in a problem report to the fix-it team, it will get completely fixed within 12-24 hours, just like the rest of campus. It attracts intelligent people mostly because of it's emphasis on being the "Sciences" college, but many of the people who live there, including myself, are not affiliated with the science majors at all. Many of the people here are more private and reserved, and we like it that way. A lot of the people here are more interested in their education than getting drunk every night, and that makes this place is a haven for us. However, if you want to get high every night and fail all your classes, try a different college.
