Manzanita or San Raf?

<p>Which one is better? I know I've asked others this question, but I'm getting too many opinions. If everyone can just describe these two to the best details that they can...that'd be great...thanks.</p>

<p>P.S. I'm a transfer student.</p>

<p>i have the same question</p>

<p>you may wanna check this thread has a lot of info about the dorms at UCSB:</p>

<p>I understand that ely...but I have heard different opinions on the two dorms. I just wanted to get more ppl's opinion's on them.</p>

<p>The main thing that I've heard is that Manzanita is really nice, but really antisocial...while San Raf is the opposite.</p>

<p>Anyone want to dis/agree?</p>

<p>Go with San Raf. Manzanita sucks, and this coming from a person living in Manzanita right now.</p>

<p>I live in Manzanita right now. Well, I'm assigned in Grad/21+ house and it's awesome! We know each other real well and the house go out often. I really think it's all abot the RA. My RA encouraged us to eat dinner together and hang out from the very beginning and to this day we do that as a house and party and eat together whenever we can. </p>

<p>I have friends who are in San Raf and they're not happy. They wish they're in our house. I have some friends too who are in other houses in Manzy and they're not happy either. SO it comes down to convenience....bathroom? Yeh, in each floor there are 4 bathrooms that can be locked when someone's in there and there are only 16 students per floor. I'd say Manzanita all the way......</p>

<p>bump, anyone else?</p>
