UCSB may be a trying transition for anyone who finds they already posess difficulties balancing socializing and school work. With Isla Vista so close in proximity, it gives the location a wonderful "college-town" feel. However, many may find it problematic to focus with a slew of social gatherings right around the corner. It takes a determined individual, but it's not without fun!

UCSB is an awesome school. It has the reputation of a party school, but if all you want to do is party this isn't the place. You will soon find out that it has a rigorous academic curriculum. It is a beautiful school by the ocean where one can go and relax and enjoy. If you don't enjoy the beach, this isn't the school for you. The classrooms are big and well-designed and comfortable. The professors are great and helpful. If you want a small school with limited opportunities, this isn't the school for you.

In my opinion any person who wants to attend this school and is willing to put some effort has the capacity to come here. However, since I have to answer the question, I would say that the unhappy should not attend UC Santa Barbara. UCSB has one of the best environments and people right here are just fenomenal. In my opinion if you do not have the happy and joyfull personality it will become harder to fit in and have fun.

This is perhaps one of the most diverse campuses part of the University of California system so it's hard for people not to fit in or feel comfortable. But if you're not ready to try new things and deal with different people, this is definitely not the school for you.

Almost every person would love this school, but if you are the kind of person that prefers to go to school with 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} concentration in their education without wanting to enjoy the college experience, than UCSB is not for them.

There are very few cons about this university. Attending this university is extremely expensive, and requires a great deal of effort to maintain an adequate GPA. You will not succeed financially or academically if you are lazy and incompetent. I think that every person that values their education and future; University Of California Santa Barbara is an ideal choice.

Someone who is focused on theri school work and will be able to avoid any distractions should attend this school. The city is very beautiful and has many possible distractions that seem attractive to young people. Any one planning to attend here should be able to avoid giving in to temptaion and focus on their studies which should be their priority.

People who are not self-motivated or able to keep themselves on top of their school work should not attend UCSB (or any UC). The quarter system is extremely fast paced. If a student wants to succeed, he needs to be able to balance the fun this school is known for with the work required to succeed. UCSB is definitely a ton of fun but it is also a very good school, full of incredibly intelligent and driven students. If you can't keep yourself accountable for completing work on your own, you will fall behind and probably do poorly.

UC Santa Barbara is a fairly outdoor orientated school. The weather is very mild so going to the beach and biking around campus are year round activities. People who are looking for a more old fashioned college environment with big classic style buildings and seasonal weather probably wouldn't feel comfortable at UCSB. Also, UCSB does not have a football team so students interested in participating in university level football, playing or watching, would not enjoy UCSB.
