Tropicana Gardens and Tropicana del Norte

My apologies for crashing an UCSB forum with a question that is not entirely on point. There are two private dorms in IV – Tropicana Gardens for SBCC students, and Tropicana del Norte for UCSB students. Relating to Tropicana Gardens (for SBCC students) – is it predominantly SBCC students who want to be close to the IV party scene? Or internatiional students who spend all their time in the library? Or something in between?

Could a studious SBCC student survive there?
