University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

I wouldn't recommend my school for someone who's shy. It's a large campus with a lot of people, and in order to make connections you need to put yourself out there. I also wouldn't suggest my school to anyone looking for a place that rallies around its sports teams. We have great teams, but when it comes to sports our school spirit is lacking. Other colleges have big game nights and tailgating that everyone shows up to, but we don't have a football team.

Everyone should have the opportunity to attend a four year university on the condition that they are driven to learn. People who do not care about education or bettering themselves and the community would not fit well into a college like this one that is dedicated to making students the future leaders of tomorrow. Those who attend this school must be willing to work hard to get a degree and achieve their personal best.

Someone who doesn't like big campuses and prefers no distracting extra circular activities.

A person who hates the beach and also hates the beautiful weather. A person who is set on keeping close minded beliefs towards different ideas and situations probably should not attend this school. Someone who is not highly motivated and dedicated to their studies also would not make a good fit. The last criteria remains in the acceptability of all different kinds of people. If the person is not socially acceptable of a variety of cultures, they probably should not attend this beautiful school.

If you intend on reserving yourself and not expanding your social as well as mental boundaries, this school is not for you. Santa Barbara is full of friendy people and intellectual challenges that will breach your mental horizons. The math and art department is not the highest standard, from experience, so be wary of that.

I think this is a great school. You will have to live away from campus and outside of Isla Vista if peace and quiet is important to you.

UC Santa Barbara is not the place for close minded people. UCSB promotes a diverse atmosphere in everything from the wide varieties of food available in the dining commons, to the countless number of campus organizations who accept anyone interested in joining.

The type of person that shouldn't attend this school is the typical introvert. Someone who focuses entirely on academics would not really belong at UC Santa Barbara because our students enjoy having a strong social life in addition to academics. Also, an extreme conservative shouldn't attend the school.

Someone who has no interest in learning and interacting with their fellow classmates should probably not attend this school. However this school is fairly suitable for almost any type of person. Those who are not that interested in research would also do well to consider other options.

Someone who wants live in a quiet place. Someone who wants to go to a small arts school. Someone who would feel uncomfortable in a city populated predominately by white people.

Everyone is welcome to attend this school. There is no descrimination

No one. Everyone would fit in one way or another. Unless maybe someone that hates the beach, they may not like it here.

Any type of person can adjust to UCSB since it is a great campus and the academics are spectacular as well. There are so many clubs and activities for any student. But there are a lot of parties on the weekends so if you can't balance a party life with your academic life then this isn't the school for you.

This school is great for all types of people, but only individuals who are serious and focused on their studies will get the full effects and advantages from attending this university.

People with strong religious views, strict ideals, the inability to accept other points of view, and a low tolerance for cultural difference should not attend this university. Also, UCSB does not offer professionally oriented graduate degrees such as an MBA, so those desiring one should go elsewhere. The cost of living is very high so those on a budget should think about other options. Finally, who wish to participate in a highly active Greek environment (i.e. fraternities and sororities) might want to go elsewhere as the Greek population makes up less than 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student population.

If you are a person who is not ready to work, not ready to have fun, or enjoy the beautiful weather then you do not belong at UC Santa Barbara.

If you are extremely religious and are not open to "liberalism". Gotta be committed to school though.

Someone who isn't willing to try new things should not be attending this school; there are constantly new activities and such going on that encourage students to branch out. Also, someone who hates noise should beware because it is a very loud school. Finally, if you want to major in business or architecture/visual arts, this isn't really the best school for those majors.

There aren't many characters that wouldn't enjoy the UCSB campus. It's secluded from the neighboring cities and captures the beaches' relaxing vibes - it's definitely a place for students who are looking for a stress free environment.

People who are serious about their acedemic life, but aren't afraid to have a little fun, too. Any one who is commited to getting a solid education should look into this university.
