<p>As a high school student in the UCSB area, we here some crazy stories about parties and such. Most of my friends who went to UCSB are doing alright there, but they’re DEFINITELY partying and it’s DEFINITELY taking away from their educations.
Then again, I don’t know any physics majors.</p>
<p>In short, UCSB is a party school only if you make it one. If you go there and choose to study instead of going to Isla Vista every night, you’re getting a great education with a public school price tag (in state).</p>
