<p>Hey guys, I'll be transferring to SB in the fall from the OC. Ive been reading up a lot about housing: dorms, apts, isla vista.etc.. </p>
<p>Dorms: Pros, meet other transfers.
Cons, small and expensive, heard the social life isn't as good since people aren't as<br>
integrated into the community/ meeting new people when they're 3rd years.</p>
<p>School owned apartments: read that more of the socially awkward people are in there, I know this info could be biased so I would want to hear from some people who have experienced it!</p>
<p>IslaVista: gets super rowdy/noisy and dirty. It's where the parties are, i feel like its chill to party but not to live in a dump. Again correct me if I'm wrong! Just heard these from my friends who have told me. </p>
<p>Pretty much they say I.V is the place since its super chill, cheaper than the dorms, and more freedom. Downside Is that it can get dirty/rowdy/loud which would bug if you're really trying to get some sleep or work done.</p>
<p>Long story short. Let's just all get a house! As transfers, we can help each other out and already have friends to begin with! </p>
<p>Or use this forum to find your future roommate/ housemate! </p>
<p>If this forum bumps I'll make us a facebook group.</p>

<p>I’d consider this since my housing plans are a tossup right now. Bookmarking this thread lol</p>

<p>Randroid: are you a transfer student this fall? Give me a general bio. Like where you’re from, major, age, name, hobbies, etc! We may possibly get an apt together in Isla Vista.</p>
<p>I’m also a transfer who got accepted to UCSB Fall 2012!</p>
<p>i kiiiiiiiiind of might be dowwwwwn. depends on how far away the house is b/c i’m not going to have a car and would have to bike everywhere LOL. so i want close x_x.</p>
<p>but i want my bathrooms cleaned for me so maybe not. crap idk.</p>
<p>LOL fionuhh. Me too.</p>
<p>^^LOL same, but we have to share bathrooms</p>
<p>Who know’s what people do in the bathroom…</p>
<p>I’m going to city college to transfer ucsb, would be down to get a house. 18 m bay area</p>
<p>Hahaha @acoustickitty @lawlking are you guys dorming? If so what dorms are you choosing?</p>
<p>I decided to go with Manzanita. Anyone going to the transfer Friday on the 11th?</p>
<p>Fionuhh still haven’t decided yet!</p>
<p>If I go to SB, Manzanita Village. If you see a guy walk to the shower naked from his room, you’ll know that’s me.</p>
<p>Haha yeah I was looking at Manzanita too only because I (hopefully, possibly) could get a beach view. hehe My friend who transferred last year from Merced currently lives in Manzanita and likes it. She said its much newer and at San Rafael you have a chance of sharing a bathroom with 8 people. lololol.</p>
<p>Are those transfer fridays worth going to?? I might go on the 18th but gas is so expensive and I don’t want to drive down there if it’s just one hour and something I could do online. Which orientation dates do you guys think you’ll be attending (in august)</p>
<p>Gas in England is more than 9$ a gallon. Stop complaining.</p>
