University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

for some people but not many

Yes, in the Greek system at least.

Somewhat--Students here definitely party hard but they work really hard too. It's amazing to see how smart and hard-working some students are in your class who you happened to see blacked out at a party the night before.

No way...we all had to get the grades to get into the school in the first place. We are ambitious and UCSB has so many great programs that it would be a waste to party it all away. But don't get me wrong, we do like to party. We're pro at balancing.

Don't think so. Although some people like to party we usually keep it from Thursday until Saturday. I've also heard that CalState Long Beach is better known for having STDs than we are. We are smart students who live in a community with city college students. We get a bad rep because those students party much more than we do but they live in close proximity to us.

For some, yes. For the majority, no. I think that although by percentage we may be predominately a white campus, this doesn't mean that everyone is. We have a diverse campus of difference ethnicities, as well as different backgrounds and interests. And while having a strong social calander may be part of UCSB, most students take their classes seriously...otherwise, we wouldn't be here!

Somewhat - I feel that there's probably a lot more drinking/raging here than on other campuses ... but it IS college. There are mostly skinny people around, but there are enough fat college kids that I don't get too depressed over my own not-so-perfect body.

to a degree. yes, we party hard, btu we also are really smart and it is not a joke school, you have to be smart to get into here. and there are a lot of pretty people hre but evyerone is really chill and laid back and nice.

I believe that every university/college parties in some form or other, and most people are too arrogant to admit that. The fact that UCSB parties is the truth is totally acceptable; the fact that people look down on us just for that reason is not acceptable.

to an extent
