Santa Barbara is a unique and beautiful place. The town of Isla Vista surrounding the school is packed with 25,000 students ages ranging from 17-26. The school is located on the cliffs with the Pacific ocean below. The students are studious and intelligent, but know how to have fun on the weekends. People say that UC Santa Barbara students know how to work hard and play hard. There is a major emphasis placed on research which allows students to be exposed to leading researchers and new concepts. Students experience an exciting and engaging environment every day.

In regards to my major I knew I could attain both a liberal arts education as well as puruse a career in dance.

There is a very relaxed yet serious attitude.

The school's African American/Black community is very close nitt and provides great oppurtunities for meeting people who have succeded in the career field.

UCSB is unique in that it is a hybrid between the benefits and career privilleges of a prestigous world reknowned university and the connections and good memories of an infamous party school. Here at UCSB, you can expect to graduate and transition easily to more serious academic and career endeavors as you spend four years and countless nights of getting wasted and using this as an excuse for ridiculously slutty behavior. Ah, college.

The location is unbeatable and the campus is liberal-minded and fun. The professors are great teachers and you can get a top-notch education here, while still having a good time.

UCSB is great. You could make a new friend just standing in line at the store, that's how friendly everyone is. And I have finally been able to pursue the things I am passionate about, like fighting sexual violence and equal rights, through the extracurricular groups they have here. There is something for everyone here too. If you like to drink, there are parties going on Thursday through Sunday night. We are also a big sports school when it comes to soccer and basketball. And of course, the beach is always right next door.

Very lighthearted, friendly atmosphere. All students live in a small clase community, great social life and school pride. Campus is located right on the ocean and is very beautiful.
