SBCC is located very close to Downtown Santa Barbara, and there's an express bus between campus and Isla Vista if you want the college experience without paying UC fees for your first two years as an undergraduate.

SBCC has the highest transfer rate to UC Berkeley (or it did when I was a student there a couple of years ago), and has a transfer agreement with UCSB. I think that people who go to UCSB right out of high school are wasting their parents' money. You get a better quality of education at SBCC, as professors are teaching you rather than TA's who don't even have PhD's yet, and classes are in small classrooms rather than 500 person lecture halls. Also, SBCC's reputation is built on the number of successful transfers, whereas UCSB just wants to weed out seniors and freshmen as quickly as possible. Sure, there is a stigma associated with going to community college, but get over it.
