<p>obviously because most people visit home on weekends?
i kind of see that as a big downside...
[still trying to make a decision]
am i wrong to see it in that light / are tehre parties / clubs that the students go to?</p>
<p>i actually visited a for a day back in november and it was really deserted--will it always be like that?</p>
<p>I’ve been to schools like UCLA and USC on weekends with friends before. It’s deserted everywhere man. People just go home.</p>
<p>But to answer your other question: most likely wont be like that every weekend, especially near finals. But I dont think anyone will be partying or doing anything around that time.</p>
<p>at UCSB everyone was there hahahha
that place was SO chill…
it was FLOODED with students/ probably because the nightlife there is insane and its an amazing place to live</p>
<p>Then go there.</p>
<p>Your education, you should choose.</p>
<p>well i’d rather go to school that was better academically–not just for the parties…i was just justifying why i was wondering if UCSD was always deserted on weekends</p>
<p>Obviously “everyone” doesn’t go home on weekends. Most of us live too far away. There are quite a few SoCal students but even amoing those, not everyone actually wants to see their parents that much.</p>
<p>UCSB has people on campus because how many people do you really know from “CenCal”?</p>
<p>Heh, that’s true. According to StatFinder, only 7.75% of UCSB’s entering class was from the tri-county area around UCSB (SLO, SB, and Ventura counties). That means 92.25% of the freshman class is at least 1.5 hours (roughly) driving distance away from the school. In my time at UCSB, I can’t think one one person who went home every weekend, and I’d say 9 out of 10 only went home on the breaks.</p>
