Housing help please :)

<p>Just got accepted to UCSB and i was wondering if anyone could help me out with what housing option would be best for me. </p>

<p>I am coming in as a freshman but the thing is, Ill be 22 years old, and because of that Im not sure I want to live in the dorms so much, but I also want to have a way to make new friends because I wont know anyone at the university.</p>

<p>Anyone have any opinion or advice? I was considering tropicana del norte possibly</p>
