Question for CURRENT students attending UCSB

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Santa Barbara

<p>I am hopefully attending UCSB next fall and I was just wondering, what would be the best housing option for a 20 year old girl who is a transfer student from a community college? </p>

<p>My two options are basically either living on campus in the dorms or in the apartments owned by UCSB. From what i have heard IV is the place where most upperclassmen live, but that is not an option for me because i dont really know anyone there and would like to make friends easily. </p>

<p>So from experience, what is better, dorms or apartments? By better i mean funner, safer, easy to make friends and meet fun people ( I obviously want to party & im very outgoing so i dont want to get stuck in a place where people just stay in and study ALL the time). This may seem superficial but where do the most upperclassmen hot guys live besides IV? I want to make the most of my college experience and not only get a good education, but also have a good time since i have been stuck at a boring community college for the past two years! Thanks for your advice! :)</p>

<p>I would recommend an apartment. If you have the money, do on-campus housing or university-run apartments. Possibly the Loop as well?</p>

<p>San Rafael (Residence Hall), Manzanita (Residence Hall right next to ocean), or one of the university owned apartments (Santa Ynez, Westgate, El Dorado)</p>
