University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of California-Santa Barbara accurate?

Paige

Sure we've got all the stereotypes, if you only look on the surface. Just dig your toes into the sand and see what you find. You'll be suprised.

Not really, the school does party hard but that's only because Isla Vista, which is right next to UCSB, is a square mile consisting of college students. Any other college would be known as a party school too if the surrounding area next to it was solely made up of college students. The students that attend the school are very smart, not as dumb as many people are led to believe, and many of them were accepted to UCLA and Cal but liked the friendly atmosphere of UCSB better. Sure we party hard, but we study hard also.

Yes, for the most part, but there are definitely exceptions because a lot of people do not drink or do drugs, but are still an important part of the school. And for the most part we have a very involved and intelligent school

Shannon

For the most part. Not everyone parties, but a lot of people do.

UCSB is a party school but it is also one of the best schools in California. As far as the STDs go, that is not true at all.

I would guess that for about 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students here, these stereotypes would hold true.
