University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Marissa

The best thing at my school would have to be the atmosphere. Everything here is so relaxed and peaceful. We are right next to the beach so that helps, but everyone is so nice and helpful.

Angelo

The best thing about my school is the gorgeous environment located right along the beach! I could not ask for a better environment, not to mention everybody here is so friendly compared to my hometown.

Devyn

The best thing about my school is definitely the location and gorgeous campus. Our campus is located right on the oceanside and it is surrounded by sandy beaches that the water-sports lovers frequent nearly every day. Situated by the beach, the weather is typically mild if windy and usually sunny so laying out on the beach and getting some school reading done is very easy to do. Most of the buildings on campus have views of the lovely southern California mountains or of the shining Pacific Ocean. UCSB students really are very lucky to be surrounded by such beauty.

The College of Creative Studies is a really great program that a lot of students don't know about, with small classes and a lot of academic flexibility. I don't think I would have stayed in school without the flexibility that it offers. Throughout the university, there are also a lot of really rad and smart professors. I've been able to work as a research assistant and really appreciate that opportunity.

I am a part of the College of Creative Studies at UCSB. This college was my reason for coming here in the first place. They treat us students (all 400 of us) like graduate students, allowing us to take as many courses as we would like in order to challeng ourselves (officially, there is a 95.5 unit cap each quarter, but no one's ever made it that high.) We receive personal counseling each quarter and are allowed to sign up for classes early, which is good since budget cuts has limited the number of spaces in each class.

Melisa

The best thing about my school is the relaxing beach atmosphere, and the quality education that the professors deliver to the students. Another thing that I great about UCSB is the students , the education opportunities available to me, and the great outreach organiations that the campus has to offer to the rest of the community.

Adgar

The best thing about UCSB is the balance that a student can enjoy in having a presegious education and fun and relaxing environment.

Carlisle

Natural enviornment. Beautiful ocean to my left, and gorgeous moutains to my right. I also love how everyone is so enviornmentally conscious as well.

Marcela

The best thing at my school is how many resources to help you succeed.

Frisco

My school is envrionmentally aware and does a great job of informing the thousands of students that attend school here of the school's efforts in that respect. I believe that's a great thing about my school because it's making an impact on the thousands of students that attend and informing them on such an important, and sometimes overlooked, issue in society today.
