University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

sometimes, yes.

yeah

Lots of drinking...but probably as much as any other college campus.

Not at all. I party on some weekends, but ultimately fill my time with using the resources available at UCSB for intellectual pursuit. When I'm not learning, I'm living life to the fullest.

True as much as all colleges are party schools. the stable weather and beautiful location probably make it easier to party, but we get our work done too. Work hard, play hard

yeah we drink alot but I dont think it is too much more than any other school. And it has been proven that only like 5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of UCSB students have Stds.. so thats not that true. I have straight A's and have worked hard for everyone of them, so we aren't stupid either

no, but they describe many students but by no means all, or even the majority.

We party all of the time. Yes, there are ridiculously good-looking sexually-active women. Not all of them have sex. You can find 10 of every type of woman that there is. UCSB's students are not just a bunch of "fuck buddies". We also get our work and academics done! With an incoming Freshman average GPA of 4.05 (thats right; 4.05) the sophistication of the University and its academics is reflected in the student body. UCSB is NOT a cesspool of STD's. Just like through the rest of the country during the early and mid-90's, the fear of STD's caused a hysteria on college communities that led to such stereotypes. d

Indeed.

no stereotypes are accurate-a stereotype is a generalization and can't cover everyone, but there are a lot of beautiful people here, and a lot of drinking happens on the weekends. Not everyone has STDs; you can usually guess the people who do, so they should be easy to avoid.
