University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

Our school has the same percentage of STI's as any other college campus yes, we definitely party hardy!

the "party school" stereotype seems accurate, but i feel like that is only because students feel like they should live up to UCSB's stereotypes. but the fact that UCSB students have more STDs than that of other schools or populations is a myth, & the amount of people with STDs here is the same amount of people all over the country

no. partiers, yes, but not in a bad way.

Definitely.

only to the few who like the stereotype

they're all true but only to a certain extent. true you can have all that stuff going on if that's what you're really in to, but if you're not there's a very diverse crowd there and surely you can make friends with them. the party scene is cool, you could be the kind of person who runs around naked and has to be the center of attention, or you could be the one who likes to chill in the background, smoke a doobie, drink beer and make fun of the people who are making asses out of themselves. drugs are everywhere, whatever you want, you can get it. i only chose to put a few different kinds in my bloodstream, but i had a great time. i found myself becoming more and more insightful and philosophical and all around intelligent, but you gotta give it the old college try. sex and stds kind of go hand in hand, but yes you can bone a lot if you like to bone. just don't be a creep about it because nobody likes creeps. if you are a creep and act inappropriately towards women (and men for that matter since i've had a buddy get essentially raped) i hope something really bad happens to you because there's nothing worse than hearing about something that traumatizig happen to a close friend. but if you like being: "In the buff, Being rude, Doing stuff, With the food, Getting lude, With his food, We heard that?s what you are into," then you can do that too.

in general yes, but not for all

Very accurate

No. Ya we party pretty hard in SB but we are also well known UC which has high academic standards, especially for a major like engineering. As for STDs, every college is going to STDs and I doubt UCSB is much worse than any other. Its not like everyone goes around here having unprotected sex all the time.

The majority of UCSB includes attractive people, yes. But I would say almost everyone is extremely nice, laid back, and welcoming to all other students. The party atmosphere definitely helps everyone get along and have a good time.
