I like living in Santa Cruz because of the great beaches and beach activities. My classmates and I can play beach volleyball after school or on weekends. Santa Cruz is also very close to the Gilroy shopping mall and I can go outlet shopping. The ELS Center in Santa Cruz is also in a great location and students can easily travel to Yosemite, LA, Monterey, and San Francisco on the weekends. Although Santa Cruz is not a big city, it is very comfortable because everything is nearby, such as the grocery stores, post office, library, and restaurants.- Sang Hyuk
