University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

A hardcore partier. I am currently trying to transfer out of UCSB because of the extreme partying attitude that the majority of the students seem to have. Skipping class is no big deal, and parties occur every night of the week. Students that don't like individual attention should go here, as many class sizes are huge, causing you to feel like a nobody. I would prefer a more specified education with more personal attention.

UCSB has been the subject of many stereotypes however that does not mean that the university has a typical student. The courses of study as well as the social atmosphere are richly diverse and nearly anyone with an appetite for education or fun could do well at Santa Barbara.
