University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

The beach, surfing and partying amidst the beautiful surroundings of UCSB.

UC Santa Barbara is best known for its social life and its beautiful campus. The campus atmosphere is very relaxing. Isla Vista is a community of students, faculty, and residents who live right next to the campus, which makes it a non-commuter school. This helps all of the students maintain a well balanced social and academic life. Students are either busy with school work or enjoying their time living right next to the beach.

UCSB is known for being right on the beach, it's physically and academically active students, it's intense social scene (Isla Vista), and for being a top research institution. A common motto used at UCSB is "we work hard, we play hard!"

Great social life combined with great academics, and a beautiful campus!

UCSB is best known for the adjacent student town of Isla Vista, which is notorious for debauchery.
