<p>It is currently my #1 out of the schools I have so far been accepted to. It's only turnoff for me is that it has that reputation of being a poor school for partying. I have heard that kids tend to party with SDSU people, is that true? Also, just on its own, how is UCSD's party scene? I'm not hard core but I like to party at least once a month. Would I get that?</p>
<p>Keep in mind I do plan on joining Greek Life.</p>
<p>yeah i’m in a similar situation. really need some input from current (2010-2012) students regarding the social scene there.</p>

<p>This is what a UCSD student had to say about UCSB vs UCSD in regards to social life:</p>

<p>Also, read all the reviews on yelp and student review.</p>
<p>Many students at UCSD choose to live on one of the beautiful beaches, over in Mission Beach or Pacific Beach. Consequently the student density around campus is low compared to a residential school like UCSB. And once in the greater neighborhood of a beach town like MB, students don’t form the dominant numbers the way they do at some schools so you don’t have as much of a college feel.</p>
