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.
