<p>I was just wondering, what are your thoughts at ucsb. i mean, i am ultimately striving for ucla or cal because of prestige but a side of me wants to go to ucsb because it truly feels like a university. and at the same time, people are more laid back.</p>

<p>i am just worried about not being as marketable compared to ucla or cal.</p>

<p>And being a transfer, which dorm will I probably be assigned to? What would I need to do if I wanted to be in Santa Catalina or Mazantiza?</p>

<p>UCSB is one of the best kept secrets, I loooove this university. I would choose it over UCLA and Cal in a heartbeat. </p>

<p>You will NOT want to live in FT (Santa Catalina), Manzanita would be okay, but San Rafael will be your best bet, has the most upperclassmen living there.</p>

<p>manzanita is the nicest one right right? though i think it houses freshman too. I guess overall san raf is the best place for transfers?</p>
