Housing advice/help for UCSB incoming Transfer

Hey! Transfer student from L.A. that got accepted into SB!
I just wanted to know if there are any groups or websites that’ll help me with housing/renting apartments a lot easier. I have a group of 3 or 4 people that are looking for housing on SB.

Also, what’s the scene like in these houses? We’re all transfer students so we don’t know what there is. Also, if you have recommendations on places to check out or visit that would be perfect! We would like to live in an area in IV or nearby campus that has a really good social scene, but is also nice. Any and all responses will be appreciated!

I’m just gonna apply for residence halls. I emailed the director and he said UCSB could ‘likely’ be able to accommodate transfers in the residence halls this year.
I still wanna bring my car tho
