All of the professors that I have had the opportunity to take a class with have had much to offer me and my education. Their expertise in their field and their passion for the material make everday learning an absolute pleasure.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I truly enjoy every moment I spend at UCSB, and I think a main factor is the fact that I am surrounded by so many unbelievable people. Everyone at UCSB is down to earth, friendly, and studious all at the same time; it's the perfect balance.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Like every other university, UCSB costs a pocket-full of money. However, my experiences with the Financial Aid Office have always been positive. The FAO also offers many scholarships for UCSB students, and that is something I highly recommend!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
UCSB is a fantastic school, and I am so lucky to be a student here! Not only is it one of the highest ranking universities in the United States for its academic and research accomplishments, but it is also a beautiful campus that will make almost anyone feel at home.
UCSB has the reputation for being a party school, but what I always tell people is that it all depends on the individual. It is true, every UCSB student will have a place to go on Friday and Saturday nights if they need some time off from studying, and UCSB is not the place for you if you cannot resist the temptation! The most important thing is to have your priorities in order. Study hard, and you can party harder!
As far as academics go, there is no reason any UCSB student should be worried about not doing well! As long as you are determined to study the material, our Campus Learning Assistance Services (CLAS) offers free tutoring for dozens of classes that prove to be tough.
UCSB also has many opportunities for student involvement and leadership. Students with a very wide range of interests will be able to find an activity that interests them on campus, whether it is participating in a rally, joining a campus organization, or running for student government. Keeping an open mind is key to being able to take advantage of all of the opportunities that come your way!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UCSB is surrounded by beaches, so if you are a beach lovin' surfer, this is the perfect place for you!
Nearly everyone at UCSB rides a bike, so if you enjoy your time on two wheels, you'll love SB! However, you must be very carful. Campus security officers take bike traffic and parking rules very seriously.
If you are a studious, laid back, down-to-earth student ready for a great college experience, definitely consider UCSB!
