<p>Im asking about the party scene, and how SBCC students fit into it.
Dont judge me for wanting a college experience, i know work comes first. I just dont want to pay 30,000 in out of state tuition at UCSB, and i am not sure if i can even get in to there being out of state, so i thought SBCC would be better.
I am highly considering Ole Miss, and i am from the south, and currently live in Tennessee. Ole Miss has allot of Frat parties which will be hard to beat, so are UCSB parties good? I take it there not to big on Greek which is good because i would be transferring in my sophomore year.
But i have come to realize that SBCC students can get privately owned dorms on the UCSB campus like Tropicana Gardens, do you know if these are easy to get for anyone? Well i know i want a real college experience with partying, and good looking girls, and hooking up. I know Ole Miss will provide this with no problem. But i want to know a few things, for one would i even fit in over there, i have a slight southern accent, listen to country, but also listen to top 40, and rock. I want to go here because of California weather, and its on the beach, but is the partying good? Do SBCC students commonly party with UCSB students? Do you have to be invited to parties, and contribute towards the alcohol allot of the time, or are they free and everyones welcome? Because these are major factors in my decision. And i currently dont know what to do? I want a good college experience, so can you also add any other things that a SBCC student could have fun doing there first year or 2 there with the UCSB students, and what an upper classmen UCSB student experiences college life there like? Also how far is SB from L.A., just curious.</p>
<p>No, they are not coin operated. You have a laundry card, like a credit card, with money on it and that is what you use when you do your laundry.</p>
<p>For most of the people you know of who get their bikes stolen, is it because they forget to lock up, or have crappy locks or what?
Also, do you just lock your bike up outside your dorm every day?
(I’m trying to decide on either an electra beach cruiser, or possibly a mountain bike…)
Id love to know if most freshman are generally happy with their dorm roomates…I. am so anxious to know mine!</p>
<p>hi! i was wondering what summer program to take, the freshman orientation or the step program? i keep hearing different opinions and its getting difficult to decide!</p>
<p>@shopper4life2467: there is a bike rack outside the dorms and yes, a lot of bikes are locked there. many bikes are stolen because of negligence (people lock improperly, etc). also if a bike just looks too nice, it’s going to be placed at the top of the most wanted stolen bikes list! buy those sturdy U-locks, they are proven to be the best type of bike locks.</p>
<p>@aarlover20: i lived in anacapa my first year. i lived without a bike, no problems. its good exercise and you’ll thank yourself when you dont have to worry about bike security. however, since im living in IV the upcoming year, ill mos def bring a bike.</p>
<p>@Tezuya: there are no set-in-stone core classes. all you have to do is complete the required areas. this lets you have more freedom in what classes you want to take. click on the link flushmaverick posted and you can see how many courses you need to complete for each area.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if this has been asked, but when you received your financial aid letter, was the expected cost of attendance accurate or did you end up spending more/less?</p>
<p>I’m about to be a freshman and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for parking? I’ll be living in Anacapa but I don’t feel like shelling out $300+ for a permit, and I’m from too far away not to bring my car. I don’t expect to be driving too much, so would I be best just leaving my car somewhere in IV for the majority of the year?</p>
<p>@Mike It’s generally less because they calculate a bunch of stuff you usually don’t use. ie cellphone bills. You’re probably under a family plan and your parents are paying for that. And textbook fees are a bit high; the price they quote is the average but I’ve found that you will spend far less if you purchase smart (read: not from the bookstore. Buy from amazon/ebay or other students).</p>
<p>@Jimmy Leave your car in IV if you don’t fear having your side mirrors smashed every once in a while.</p>
<p>Instead of going through all this trouble just to have a car, why don’t you just leave it at home and take mass transport such as amtrak or greyhound? This way you won’t have to worry about accidents when you’re not there, tickets cause you left it on the street during street cleaning, etc.</p>
<p>surfer144, I’m in your boat man. I Don’t know what I’m gonna do with my car, I may just end up leaving it at home and rely solely on my bike/cruiser board.</p>
<p>I assumed froshof14 was talking about the online supplements that come with textbooks new (but usually not used). For example, I had to pay for access to an online homework interface, WileyPlus, when I took Introduction to Financial Accounting (ECON 3A-B) a while back.</p>
and rely solely on my bike/cruiser board.</p>
