I love UCSB and there is not a single thing I would change about my school experience.

ALPHA PHI

I love ucsb!

Just wanted to mention that I am with pi beta phi sorority.

i love it here. it is 80 degrees and blue skies and i have yet to meet someone who would not help me with directions or my bike chain falling off. i could not have asked for a better school experience and i honestly never want t leave. i feel it is a honor and a privilege to come to this school and i hope following classes feel the same way i do.

I am on the UCSB club volleyball team and it has changed my college experience. sports were so important to me in high school and i was devastated when senior year was over. club volleyball has filled the void completely. i have an amazing team of 15 girls who i love to death. we have so much fun together, especially when traveling to tournaments. although it is a big commitment, it is great because it does not take as much time as D1 sports do. we practice 3 times a week and have about a 5 month season. we just got back from dallas for nationals and we placed 17th which is great considering it is only our 2nd year! i am also in pi beta phi and it has also really enriched my college experience. i have had the chance to play every sport in other house's philanthropies, do all different types of community service, participate in campus wide events, make lifelong friends, hold leadership positions, and of course dress up for tons of parties! i would definitely recommend rushing as a freshman to see if the greek system is something that you may enjoy.. for a lot of people it really is! i am living in my sorority house for the 2nd year now and it has been such a great experience...something that i could never have anywhere else! oh, another thing, GO ABROAD! you will have the best time of your life!!

Coming to UCSB has been the greatest decision i've ever made. It's easy to feel comfortable here and you get to go to college at the beach. It's a super social school so if you're a bit of a homebody that can be difficult.

Did I say beer?

A lot of people skip class. I don't suppose that's specific to UCSB, but I really like weeks 3-8 of the quarter because it's never hard to find a seat in class.
