<p>is there really a high risk of getting STD's at UCSB?</p>
<p>hopefully not
lol</p>
<p>ucsb did a self survey on its student population - it wasnt 100% of the student body that responded to the survey, but they felt confident enough to say that their results said that around 6% does which they go on to say its normal for a college campus, ill try and find the link</p>
<p>6% is normal?</p>
<p>suddenly i dont wanna go to college....</p>
<p>In my work, I've talked to people who work at a college Student Health Center. STD's and pregnancy are not uncommon problems. In fact, these are quite common problems. Like, the majority of their work.</p>
<p>I really wish we could make this a sticky thread:</p>

<p>Wow, that is a hoary tale. I remember as a wide eyed high school student in 1972 visiting my brother at UCSB and him relating this fact as accepted truth.</p>

Gauchos could not have the highest STI rate among universities, as UCSB’s figures do not even reach the national average.

<p>As a person who majors in mathematics, I can't really see how being below the national average => does not have the highest rate among universities.</p>
<p>However, read the entire section about this to get some better perspective.</p>
<p>I thought people said 2/3 girls have STDs. Guess that's just one of UCSB's stereotypes.</p>
<p>..i heard that SB has the highest STD rate throughout all UCs...
deng it...i'm planing to go there too. haha</p>
<p>I don't see why you're worried about STDs. Are you committed to having non-protected sex or something?</p>
<p>stay celibate</p>
<p>1/4 of teenage girls have an STD, look on internet (you know it's true)</p>
<p>^ you mean of all girls in the US or only at UCSB?</p>
<p>Did you say a Sticky thread? lol</p>
<p>Nationwide</p>
<p>i read somewhere that at UCSB 1 in 4 girls have an STI...ill have to find the link, but there were several articles that had the same conclusion</p>
<p>^^ if that's true, then UCSB teenage girls represent the nationwide rate, because 1outof4 teenage girls in America has an STD</p>
<p>srry ima change that to 1/3 as according to a couple of ppl i know at UCSB......=(...just be careful..is all i have to say...</p>
<p>lol. depending on the sample size, that proportion might not be statistically significant (stats rules)</p>
