UCSB is very diverse, it has a reputation of being a party school but its actually pretty hard. you have to study, a lot more than i expected to pass a class. its not just fun and games as it appers. all dorms are looking out the ocean so you have an ocean view, cafeteria is AMAZING! people (guys/girls) are gorgeous!!! there are a lot of frats and sororities, there is a little bit or everything to fit everyones needs.

I love that my school has many opportunities for people to get involved and still excel academically. My school really supports healthy living and does everything it can to ensure student happiness and success. We have hundreds of organizations, and there really is no reason to not get involved. I love our programs and the accessibility of the faculty here.

The best thing about UCSB is the location. With the Santa Ynez mountains to the east and views of the Pacific Ocean from the 8th floor of the library, it's hard to imagine going to school in a more beautiful place. Whether it's hiking or surfing, UCSB has it. I think the reason we're such an environmentally friendly school is because we are in such a beautiful environment, reminding students on a daily basis to protect what is around us.

One of the best things about this school is its location. It is located right next to the beach, so the weather is always beautiful, which makes the campus a perfect place to hang out or study. The academics at this school is also superior.

The best thing about UC Santa Barbara is the atmosphere. It is a very friendly, laid-back enviornment. But the school is also academic oriented. Students here never feel afraid to be different, smart, or diverse. It is a school that welcomes anyone, no matter what age, race, religion, or political views. I visited many colleges in high school, but i never felt as comfortable or as home as when i visited UCSB.

The best thing about this school is friendliness of the campus community. There many places on campus to get homework help as well. This school is very culturally aware.
Mark
I think the best thing about my school is that my church is within walking distance of my campus. One big reason I decided to attend UCSB was the Catholic community of St. Mark's Church. It definitely factored in when it came to deciding on the school of choice. I have never been to a community like it.

The best things about UC Santa Barbara are the people and the location. The campus is beautiful and right next to the beach. The weather is perfect and the campus is not too big or too small, and you can get anywhere within fifteen minutes. The relaxed atmosphere is a reflection of the students. Everyone is very friendly and easy going. Whether you are a freshman or a senior the experience is unforgettable.
