<p>How close are stores around ucsb?
If I go to ucsb, I will have to either walk or bike.</p>
<p>I was concerned about this too, so i google mapped it haha. There are 2 malls/shopping centers/plazas within a 3 mile radius of UCSB =D One of the malls has a Vons in it (dont know why) so you can get groceries and clothes on one trip.</p>
<p>Isla Vista has everything you need. And that is only a few minutes away (bike time). And if you want to shop for clothes you can take a bus to downtown santa barbara.</p>
