I’ll be attending the College of Creative Studies at UCSB in the fall and wanted to get opinions on my housing options. I’m a Regents Scholar so I could live in Anacapa with the honors floor or I could live in the CCS Pendola house. I’m not sure what the atmosphere is like in each; I’m not a huge partier but I’d still like to meet people and have fun. Any experience with either dorm helps! Thanks!
If you want to meet people don’t live in Manzanita. It’s super quiet with a lot of foreigners (since it has break housing) who aren’t really interested in socializing at all. I think you would enjoy Anacapa honors floor a lot more, you would get more of the freshman experience and not feel as isolated. The Anacapa honors floor will likely have kids who have similar feelings in regards to parties
