Someone who likes to be in a very diverse environment. Anyone with an open mind when it comes to politics, liberal studies, and research would enjoy this school.
Carol
Open-minded, fun, social people

Those wishing to pursue careers in Engineering, Computer Science, and sciences in general would definitely want to come to UCSB because it has stellar records in all of these areas. People who want to live in a diverse, artistic, and multi-ethnic environment would like UCSB. Graduate students looking for research opportunities would find them available in many different departments at this campus. Undergraduates looking for opportunities to study abroad, do outreach, and prepare for graduate school would also be excellent candidates for this school. Finally, anyone who enjoys the beach and sunny weather would like it there.
Laura
People who are focused should attend this school. There is a strong sense of community at this school and people who attend love to have fun.
Christina
An outgoing, strong-willed person should attend this school. UCSB kids work extremely hard and play hard. The atmosphere is very laid back and social, and there aren't too many shy people around campus. Also , they have to be strong-willed because if they fall under peer pressure too much, they may be sucked into the party scene and flunk out.
Alondra
I think anyone that wants to live in a beautiful place and have a good time while getting a great education should come to UCSB. The person should be laid back since SB is a beach community and helpful. UCSB isn't really an uptight, intensely competitive school, but helps everyone and loves everyone.
Carolyn
Almost any type of person could feel at home at UCSB. No matter your personality, you will likely find a friend, but one trait that all UCSB students have in common is a fun-loving attitude. UCSB students are smart and hard working, but they also know that it is important to build relationships, be social, and take a break from the books once in a while. This does not necessarily mean partying to the extreme, but it means going to the beach on Saturday with your friends or having a movie night in the dorms.
matthew
I feel any student that is willing and able to educate themselves for a better career should be allowed to attend.
Andrew
I believe it is important to keep our free-spirited community flowing. As conservative as I am, I still enjoy seeing students stand up for what they believe in. With that said, the most important quality for a prospective Gaucho would to be goal oriented. Know what they want and willing to fight for what they believe in. We have all types of students at UCSB, and I know that not one of these students have trouble discussing their own beliefs with others.
Grace
UCSB is perfect for a laid back type of student-- someone who wants to put in time studying, but also take time to have fun. Prospective students should understand that there is a party culture, but there are ways to have fun without getting drunk. It's all about finding your niche in this beautiful environment. If you appreciate nature and especially the ocean, then UCSB just might be the place for you.
