University of California, Santa Cruz - Oakes College, College 8, College 9, and College 10. These colleges provide a residential hub for students, including services such as housing, academic assistance, activities and a selection of college-related coursework. Each college has its own theme, housing style and a core course taken by incoming freshmen. College membership numbers vary by college, but one third of students generally live on campus within their college community. Coursework, academic majors and general areas of study are not limited by college membership, though colleges "host" the offices of various departments and faculty. Until recently, very few classes offered letter grades, and progress was instead communicated through the use of written evaluations. The mascot of UCSC is the banana slug, which can be found in wetter years all over campus. A favorite trick played.
