<p>The school is amazing.
Yes, there is a large party scene, and no not every school is like IV.<br>
The difference is, we get our **** done so that we can party.</p>
<p>When I think of classifying a schools as a “party school”, I don’t really think of the parties themselves, I think of the percentage of students there who fit the stereotypical fratboy/sorority girl party-hard persona. It seems like UCSB is a haven for the kids who were popular (“preppy”), attractive, and outgoing in high school. </p>
<p>There are parties everywhere, I’m more concerned about how I’d fit in with the general student body, not being a pretty, fashion-conscious party girl but not being a hardcore academic either.</p>
<p>Forgive the use of generalizations here.</p>
<p>To contradict that, college isn’t like that because all generalizations are dropped. That is the beauty of college; nobody knows who you are, what you have done, or how you were “classified” in high school.
There is a huge variety of people here…and not only those “preppy” popular people fit in.</p>
<p>I think that all of the UCs are such big schools that there is a place for everyone to fit in. and not just “you’ll find a couple of friends who don’t fit in with the majority.” I think you’re guaranteed to find a large niche for yourself. At least I hope so.</p>
<p>so glad i am accepted</p>
<p>want to go to college by the ocean so bad</p>
