<p>Heeeyyy This is for the current UCSB students</p>

<p>I wanted to know, </p>

<p>how are the classes at UCSB?</p>

<p>Are they small, big or average?</p>

<p>Are they easy to learn from, or so big that it is distracting?</p>

<p>Are the Professors accessible? Classes are overcrowded?</p>

<p>My college counselor just told me to look into these things cause it can be a BIG factor..</p>

<p>So please...enlighten me</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>the classes are HUGE … like hundreds of people
but they aren’t hard, at least not for me because i was blessed with a brain.</p>

<p>are they all huge? dont they have some smaller classes?</p>

<p>Most of the classes are pretty big. At the very least 60-80 people in my experience. many classes have sections though that are only made up of about 15-20 students.</p>

<p>All of UCs are kind of notoriously known for big classes b/c it’s a public school. I recommend you to attend lots of discussion classes for anything you need help. SB will test your ability to be motivated and discipline! But I been told the classes get smaller as classes become more major focused. First two years = GE’s => BIG CLASSES.</p>

<p>i dont think that lectures with lots of students in them are distracting, unless u really really get distracted easily. but it has not been a problem with me at all, things are still managed professionally. i dont think theyre too overcrowded? in the beginnign they seem to be a lot but it gets better and less people come. just dont come into lecture lke 15 minutes late, but even then at times u can still get a seat, even in BIG lecture halls.</p>
