<p>I have had a great experience here so far with people. I have met just one self-absorbed person but he was pretty fun person, a decent friend he offered to help me with my guitar lessons and invited me out with him. There are a lot of prankers too, even the professor and some tutors. I remember on my final, professor daryl cooper and a CLAS tutor were pie-ing each other on stage. Overall, people are chill you’ll find people with your same interests and are very open to inviting you to do things as such with them such as surfing or whatever it may be. School spirit is big also, we had a record of like 16 or 18 thousand students attend a soccer game, out of ~20 thousand student population. Our mascot Ole goes around campus and gives free stuff to people wearing ucsb gear and there are a lot of advertisement to attend the sporting events on campus. You shouldn’t have to worry about those things here, and good luck to wherever you choose</p>
