<p>im definitely going to UCSB but dont like party.
I heard Manzanita dorms are very quiet but hard to get in.
is it very competitive to get in there or its guaranteed as long as i turn in my Residence form?</p>
<p>You can definitely attend UCSB without partying. I have some friends who don't enjoy partying at all or drinking -- they've been doing fine. Manzanita is difficult to get into as a freshmen, and very difficult to get in for a single room no matter what your year. You have a bigger chance to get in during your second year with a roommate. Housing assignments are based off lottery. </p>
<p>Chances are, you're not going to get in if you're a first year.</p>
<p>tylove12 just curious, why are you choosing UCSB if you don't like the party scene?</p>
<p>It's impossible to not party at UCSB. Sometimes you go to bed early and wake up an hour later and a mile away grinding with some girl. It makes finals week very stressfull.</p>
<p>How can someone not like partying? UCSB will be a two-fold education for you I think.</p>
<p>maybe the OP is catholic and isnt allowed to have fun?</p>
<p>i know people at sb that dont party, i dont even go the, but parties wont come and bite you...so for you to worry about that isssss wierd</p>
