not too competitive

yes my professors know my name and ive loved all of my professors.

professors are very accessible- classes are awesome- the research institution fuels lesson plans and keeps them up to date.

Academics at UCSB are great because you are forced to take a wide variety of general education classes that prepare you for any future occupation, instead of just what your major classes prepare you for.

They are amazing, especially if you are interested in research and marine biology. I am a global studies and french major and I have enjoyed my classes immensely.

Classes are difficult but interesting.

I don't have a major yet, but the classes I have taken hence far have all been very informative and entertaining.
