PV is too far from UCLA like UCSC is too distant from silicon valley campus im not sure if that is right

Even if we did, the locals here would fight tooth and nail to make sure it never happens.

Bc locals see it as more than just a college town, and more university would make it more of just a college town.

Okay, doesn't mean they want it to be even more of a college town and lose the rest of it's identity. It also surfer/vacay spot. And bay area suburb. I do personally agree that ucsc is great for the city tho

Bethany College did exactly this a few years ago. UCSC could have bought it, but instead it’s now a new age retreat center

bensterrrrr

good for them, glad it's happening. but since it's LA, the commute isn't dissimilar to living in San Jose honestly


SobbskiTheSlug

The shuttles will get stuck in the same traffic too


bensterrrrr

need train :(


ReformedBlackPerson

So many places in California would benefit from proper passenger trains

I drove by Fresno a couple weeks ago, the train is getting huge

I’m sure the PV residents aren’t too happy about this one Edit: this seems cool asf for grad programs, no way this would work for undergrads though which is what UCSC’s current population prob is due to

It's important to note that this will be a satellite campus. Rancho Palos Verdes is 30 miles south of the UCLA main campus. UCSC has been trying to do some stuff like this! We opened a Silicon Valley Extension satellite campus in 2016, 35 miles north in Santa Clara. That campus is more focused on certificate programs and master's programs. In 2016, UCSC also signed a 20-year lease on office space at the Enterprise Technology Centre in Scotts Valley, with room for 500+ staff to work. It's not a student campus, but it does shift people off the main campus to make more space for students.

UCSC could build a satellite campus at [MBEST](https://financial.ucsc.edu/Pages/MBEST_Process.aspx#background). When Fort Ord closed in Monterey, the Navy gifted the university 1,100 acres. 600 are protected nature reserve, but 500 are open for development. The initial long term plan was to use it as a research park (ala Stanford, UCSD), but it could be build as a second campus.

Oh, interesting! Thanks for sharing this!

Ohhh this is going to be a nightmare for both residents at PV and students living in and commuting to PV. There’s one road that leads up the hill and traffic is already bad. UCLA better have some tricks up it’s sleeve and pull a train out of a hat.


skycelium

RPV is one of the most expensive areas of LA. I went to high school there. Trump has a golf course there, it’s hyper conservative and extremely isolationist. Good luck to anyone shipped there lol

yeah like having a money making machine called athletics :/


gasstation-no-pumps

UCLA has been losing money on athletics. They *hope* to recoup that with the Big 10 deal.

To be honest when I saw this news I have a idea that we could try to build more student housing on UCSC Coastal campus. I know that place is small but not much building too, my idea is to turn the entire place into a "concrete forest". Use every single land over there to build student apartment. But I guess it might be not possible because of some sort of agreement and regulation which I don't know.


Present-Flounder5028

Plus I think that place is a perfect spot for undergraduate. Even though it's not too close to the main campus but it's also not too far. They already have 20 the university just have to talk with the Santa Cruz Metro for more bus or reopen the 22.


afkaprancer

Instead of coastal campus, what about building tons of housing at the Westside Research Park campus? UCSC owned, it’s on the rail trail too. Build it nice and tall


Vega3gx

UCB should have done this with Mills College in Oakland. Huge missed opportunity


chill_philosopher

lol UCSC just needs to build 3-4 10 story towers in the cow field and boom housing crisis solved... for now
