Everyone thinks this campus is a crazy party school but its really not and there isn't a huge drug scene like some people will have you think. The student body, aside from being very liberal, is unremarkable. But the reason this place sucks so much is the administration. Since I've been here they have been consistently cutting classes and resources while raising fees and enrollment. Every year our tuition and fees go up while the quality of education we receive gets worse. I know California is going through hard times financially with the budget crisis but the UCSB administration is sparing no luxury while they transfer the budget crisis onto the backs of the student body. Its disgusting the way this campus is run, and you would have to be STUPID to pay out-of-state tuition to attend a crappy school like this, it isn't even worth the in-state tuition. All you are paying for is the name on your degree, and even that is not worth it since UCSB's reputation is tarnished by its past and it'll always be in the shadows of UCLA and Cal.

Everybody here is either is pathetic. You can't make real friends here everyone is always too stoned or drunk to even have a personality, not to mention any chances of having a relationship up here are impossible as your partner either has a std or has already cheated on you. The town sucks! there is nothing here! IV is just a rat infested craphole and the town of santa barbara is all spanish style buildings with a ton of hobos who alaways try to take your cigarettes. Now don't get me wrong theres some people up here who absolutley love it but if you have any doubts about it up here at all DON'T COME HERE! I cant believe how many people I've met who got into very prestigious universities and decided to come to UCSB it blows my mind. But in my opinion this place SUCKS!!!!

My freshman year I had an absolute blast partying Thursday through Sunday every weekend. But towards the end of the year, I got sick of it. Most students do get sick of it as they get older and realize they need to stop dicking around and get shit done. Halloween is getting really overrated too. This year sucked to be honest. If you like to get drunk and just walk around IV then cool. That's literally all you do. You just walk around very drunk in hopes of not getting a MIP or drunk in public from the cops. Doesn't sound much fun anymore. If you want to come to UCSB to blow $25,000 every year for partying and a good time then come here. You will get sick of it eventually. I'm hopefully transferring to UCLA or Cal junior year. Campus Aesthetics: A-, Individual Value: C Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
