<p>First off, cheers for answering questions, you guys are heroes. Secondly, questions.</p>
<p>I’m a 3rd year (…that’s Junior, yeah?) transfer student from Ireland coming over for the year to UCSB, bit nervous about going half way across the world but real excited. First off, I’m staying in Santa Ynez, saw earlier that it’s a pretty great place to live, put how is it for parties and meeting new people? The main thing I’m concerned about it meeting new people from the off. What is the deal with parties in general anyway, is it something that just happens on weekends or do people party during the week as well?</p>
<p>As well, does anyone have any reccommendations for things I should do around campus to start? I’ve heard a lot about Isla Vista, and it definitely sounds like I wanna be spending quite a bit of time around there…</p>
<p>Also, how easy is it to find weed on campus, and how easy is it to get away with smoking it on campus?</p>
<p>Finally, do the girls there love the Irish accent as much as my mates are telling me they do? :P</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh yeah, and I’m 20, will I need a fake ID before I go over?</p>
<p>Hey Bodnex, let me try to answer a lot of your questions for you. I’m also a junior transfer for fall, but I started here in the summer. I’m currently living in santa ynez and its a great place to live. Hopfully you get the 2nd floor because the back decks are connected with yor neighbors, so it makes it very fun. You wont have a problem meeting friends here. What my roomates and I did was go around introducing ourselves to all our neighbor. As for parties, most will be in iv, but im sure theres parties in santa ynez too in the fall, but in the summer, there are only a few of us here that threw parties. </p>
<p>For the fake id, im also 20 and i have my friends id, but i was warned by most people here not to try it because they’re pretty strict on fake ids. I was advised to just ask 21+ to get you alcohol, if thats not an option, go outside of iv to buy alcohol. I may be wrong, but since ive been here, we haven’t had a problem finding friends to get us drinks.</p>
<p>For smoking, i dont know how easy it is to get it, but theres plenty of people smoking it on there back decks hahaha, including one of my roomates</p>
<p>Bodnex, im sure youll be able to find weed and alchohol easy without a fake id</p>
<p>and i don’t know any american girs that don’t love english/irish accents, im considering taking on a fake one to attract women haha</p>
<p>im gonna be living in santa ynez and wont know many people, ad im assuming most other people there wont know anyone either, so everyone will be eager to meet new people.</p>
