UCSB has much potential. Unfortunately, this politically correct atmosphere that makes a great show of "diversity" and "tolerance" is far from either when it comes to having an opinion that diverges from that of the majority of the faculty.
To really understand what this means, see the movie, "Expelled," which will be in theaters across the nation beginning April 18, 2008.

If you send your child here, they will consume a vast quantity of alcohol, do many recreational drugs, have premarital sex with strangers and come out with one of the best educations in America. Think about this before sending any home-schooled children here.

I am proud to say that UCSB does not have a football team. We have a soccer team.
In fact, we're pretty adamant about all our sports. One of my favorite cheers is when we count down the clock to 4:20. Also, we throw tortillas when we score soccer goals and win games.
Last year, for soccer, we were #1 in the nation. When we won the championship game, hundreds of Gauchos stormed the Rec Cen field, took one of the goal posts, marched it across campus to a park on DP, and threw it off the cliff. (Don't worry, nobody got hurt.) It was mad-crazy-wicked-awesome. I don't think anyone has ever been more stoked on a championship soccer game. Ever.
Also, something that's unique to UCSB is the fact that everyone bikes. Everyone. In fact, bikes have the right of way on campus and in IV. It is confusing and terrifying at first, but you adjust after a week or two. Don't let it be a deal-breaker!

This place sucks, when you really think about it if you're a minority, but at the same time it wears on you so that I really love it but I hate the experience of dealing with so many racist white people. It's really there, people are still really prejudiced, but it's quieter, not gone.

um, sorry guys, I really have to do this paper that I've been putting off for a while. I started this survey because I was procrastinating and wanting to find something more "worthy" to do. I skipped a lot of questions but the bottom line is:
UCSB IS AWESOME. YOU HAVE TO COME HERE TO VISIT and YOU"LL BE IN LOVE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

UCSB is a beautiful campus. And even though people party a lot--it is a life changing place. I would tell anyone to come here. and I would love to show anyone around who does not like partying, and who wants something to do outside of drinking. and I would love people to try out real life, or intervarsity, or any of the Christian ministries because Jesus changes lives.
