<p>Do SBCC and UCSB kids get along? I’m going to try to get a room in Trop Gardens, so will I be well integrated into the UCSB social scene when I transfer? </p>
<p>I heard that SBCC kids can “unofficially” join UCSB frats. I’ve been looking at ATO. If I join as an SBCC student will I be able to go through the pledge process when I’m at SBCC and then just be activated when I transfer for my junior year? Final question… Will I be allowed to live in the frat house as an SBCC student?</p>
<p>Where do you find out if you’ve received the Regents Scholarship? By mail or on the login website?</p>
<p>I got accepted for Chemical Engineering at UCSB but I’m torn between Business Economics and Engineering at this point. Also, if I decide to pursue engineering it may not be Chemical Engineering. How easy would it be to switch majors within Engineering as well as to Econ? Would it be possible to do major in Econ and minor in Engineering?</p>
<p>Do the professors offer good counselling for what classes to take in order to fulfill your major/minor?</p>
<p>How easy is it to get internship opportunities?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Hi everyone, I’m still undecided on whether to go to SLO or SB.
I just have a few questions…
How is the diversity on campus? (is majority white?) are there a lot of asians? Is it actually a party school and is it easy or hard to focus on academics?</p>
<p>
Call and ask the engineering dept about switching within the college. From what I’ve heard it is not easy; they have a minimum GPA you need to do so, and you might have to complete some prerequisite classes to be considered. I knew someone who was a ChemE and decided that he really wanted to be an EE, but they wouldn’t let him change. </p>
<p>As for changing to Econ, it is easy to change colleges from Engineering to Letters & Science. But for Econ they have a pre-major. You need to satisfy the pre-major class and GPA requirements to get into the major.</p>
<p>There is no engineering minor.
You don’t know much about large publics, do you 
You can always talk to your profs during office hours, or if you get to know one then you can make appointments to talk. Advising, though, is not a strong point of UC schools. Each department has an undegrad advisor you can talk with.</p>
<p>Did you consider sharing a ride with other commuter students and splitting cost? Just a thought!</p>
<p>Can you offer any advice to a prospective poli sci transfer student? I remember from the tour I took that UCSB has a pre-law advising program. Since there isn’t a pre-law major, I decided to major in political science. I’m still under the impression that I’m not UCSB material. Maybe I’m just over exaggerating but I feel like I have no clue what I’m doing. Lol. ANY piece of advice or direction would be fantastic! Thank you</p>
<p>@Infamouskid15- You can major in anything and go to law school. I recommend picking a major that really interests you and you think you can do well in it. Popular majors for law bound students at UCSB are Poli Sci, Communication, Economics, Global Studies, Philosophy, English, but you can really major in anything! UCSB has great advising for pre-law oriented students we have internship opportunities in the local law community, a mock trial team, a Law and Society Journal, and even a co-ed Pre-law Fraternity. If your a prospective or admitted transfer student I highly recommend making a virtual appointment to talk with a counselor to ask any UCSB related questions. They are more than happy to help!

<p>How is the internet speed on campus? How is the wifi in the dorms/places other than the library? Is it reliable or should you bring an ethernet connection for the dorms?</p>
<p>If you were given the Regents Award, it would have come in the mail, my friend got one.</p>
<p>Hey I have a question concerning roommates. Would you recommend looking for a roommate beforehand, on facebook for example, or trust UCSB Housing and be paired up with a random? Does UCSB do a good job at matching people? I am so conflicted about whether I should room with this one girl I’ve been talking to or not. I kinda feel like rooming with a random but I’m scared it won’t turn out well</p>
<p>Is floatopia still a thing?</p>
<p>Floatopia got shut down. Deltopia is basically floatopia on DP. IVFP blocks off the beach during deltopia.</p>
<p>Is it easy to get a High gpa, like a 3.8+? im gonna be an econ/acounting major.</p>
<p>Hello I am a transfer student for fall 2013. Can you tell me which off campus apartment is the safest and the quiet for studying ? Thanks</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>From what I’ve read The Loop IV seems to be a fairly mellow place, and it has an amazing security system that includes two night watch guards. The Loop is pretty close to DP though, so if you are easily distracted you might want to avoid it.</p>
<p>Thank you. Isn’t the off campus school owned apartments just Santa Ynez, El Dorado, or Westgate，etc? Among these places, which one do you think is the best for studying ?</p>
<p>How warm/what’s the warmest it gets in sb? What’s winter like?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>SB has one season. It never really gets below the mid 60’s and it won’t get above around 90.</p>
<p>Just received an email advising the Student Health Insurance has been changed…the cost has increased from $97.00 per month to $2413 for 3/4 of the year? Heads up to all who are trying to set up a budget. If you are accepted to other UC’s perhaps this will influence which school to choose.</p>
