What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about University of California-Santa Barbara?

Tabbatha

I mostly brag about the library and community, considering that the library is the second largest in the world, and since the community is so diverse and open-minded as well. We are a very caring community and always look out for each other, especially during the roughest times of someone's life.

Stephanie

I go to a prestigious school. Yes, we are a party school, but we also have award winning academic programs, countless community service organizations, and a variety of clubs to choose from. Studying is not a drag because I can take ten minutes to find a spot on the beach to study. Who wouldn't want to have that escape? Anywhere you go in Santa Barbara, the people are so very friendly and are appreciative for everything. I live in paradise and I am able to get my degree. What more could I ask for?

Elizabeth

Our school is so close to the beach, you can visit on your breaks between classes! Everybody rides their bikes around, so people are fit. We like to work hard, so we party hard on the weekends to wind down.

Andrew

I enjoy bragging about the social atmosphere. Isla Vista is our college community directly off campus; it is very close-knit and filled with all different yet fun loving people. Our school has a party school reputation. I've been to my fair share of parties, and the students do know how to live it up, but when it comes time to studying, Santa Barbara knows how to utilize their time wisely. I like to say that we are one of the "smartest party schools in the country."
