<p>This is correct. Isla Vista is a huge party scene. Some students I know there have said it makes the dorm scene quieter than at other colleges because everyone who wants to party heads out to IV to do so. </p>
<p>Since you’re interested in physics, I strongly urge you to explore the UG physics program within the College of Creative Studies at UCSB. </p>
<p>See [College</a> of Creative Studies, UC Santa Barbara](<a href=“http://www.ccs.ucsb.edu/]College”>http://www.ccs.ucsb.edu/) for the overview and [College</a> of Creative Studies, UC Santa Barbara - Physics - Home](<a href=“http://www.ccs.ucsb.edu/physics]College”>http://www.ccs.ucsb.edu/physics) </p>
<p>If you can get accepted into this highly academic program and have the maturity to focus on your education rather than the party scene, UCSB could be a terrific choice for you. With the access, as an UG, to UCSB’s graduate program in physics, you could have an amazing experience.</p>
