University of California-Santa Barbara Top Questions

The friends I made.

The resturants, the friendly people, the great class options, the awesome weather, and the OCEAN!!!

Living next to the beach, living in a small compacted community, the casual spirit of going to school here, and soccer.

Its a great school academically with 4 pulitzer prize winning professors, but it also has a great social life. The location is fantastic, as I got to live blocks from the beach for 4 years.

The best thing about UCSB is the balance between the social scene and a great research institution. There are 5 nobel prize professors at UCSB and there is also a great social setting if you want it.

You can not beat the location of UCSB! It is right on the beach so in between classes you can stop by and have some fun in the sun!

beautiful location!!! easy to find friends and have a good social life. everyone is very good looking and friendly. the ta's and professors are awsome and easy to participate in lecture and section. its easy to make the best out of this college without joining a sorority or fraternity. i love the campus and how its such a college town with a community full of students!!! very easy to grow independent from parents and personal growth too!

My violin professor is incredible. He is an amazing player, and doesn't rely on words alone to teach me - he plays.

The classes available. I think that there is such a wide variety of classes to chose from that it is hard to get bored with whatever path you choose, making it easy to stay focused. I chose Sociology and I loved every second (mminus the GE I had to do) because I was able to tailor my schedule and classes to be interesting to me.

The environment at UCSB is very conducive to learning more about oneself as a person, and there are plenty of programs and organizations to help build upon what a student may find within himself or herself.
