University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

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

Laura

They apply to most people.

Leah

The sterotypes do hold a lot of truth but are not entirely accurate. It is a really fun school and IV always has a million things going on. There are a lot of pretty people, but everyone is not even close to fitting overall good looking stereotype. UCSB is a really good school and getting harder and harder to get in to. It really bothers me personally when people try to refer to UCSB as being a dumb school, because it is pretty hard.

Andy

not really.

Ryan

Super fun parties, yes. "Couldn't get into a 'real' college," absolutely NOT true! and as for all blonde so-calers, also false.

Vanessa

somewhat

Tate

There are a lot of attractive people and, yes, people party pretty hard, but for the most part the study body is extremely intelligent. We do party hard, but school is also hard.

Lauren

For the most part they are. I have noticed that the majority of students drink and party a lot, but maintain really good grades. The students are not as pretty as it was made to seem before I started school here.

Vanessa

We may like to have fun but everyone here is really smart. Work hard play hard is a popular phrase. Everyone is really smart and gets their work done.

Danielle

somewhat

Katie

Yes, we do party a lot, but it is not all we do.
