@Peace: That’s actually pretty clever, I know my signal in College Eight was pretty awful, yet there were a few places where it could work. I’ll definitely have to look into a bluetooth then.

Verizon works fine at cowell. I have verizon. All cell phones are spotty on campus. I find it REALLY useful to have a bluetooth device/headset so you can place your phone where you know the signal is stable and not touch or move it while talking. slight movements sometimes drop calls… which is true for anywhere. but with a bluetoooth this will not happen. verizon salespeople thought I was a genius in figuring this out.

@Jessica: From my experiences, Verizon has worked just fine at Cowell.

You rock! I’m a college counselor and I’m doing a presentation to students this week about the difference between quarter and semester units and your blog came up. Your list is so helpful! Also, I’m so happy that you are going to post about all 10 UCSC colleges, I just talked to a senior in high school that only got admitted to UCSC and is having a hard time grasping the differences in her choices. I look forward to your other posts :)
