<p>Please visit UCSB Confessions Facebook page if you want details of the IV lifestyle and UCSB student mindset. Not sure if all the stories are true, but you’ll notice a trend.</p>
<p>I’m a guy and this the most f***ed up thing I’ve heard in a while. College is supposed to be a time of enlightenment and education. I’m sorry for your friend.</p>
<p>UCSB students need to “take back” I.V.
It’s heavily populated by non-UCSB “kids” who want to party/deal drugs/etc. I don’t think the major problems are (usually) caused by the UCSB students… but they get sucked/lured in to the mess.</p>
<p>I’m a guy, so I don’t really have to worry.</p>
<p>You’re saying guys can’t get raped? l0l.</p>
<p>@nuitari Obviously they can, but this thread is about the prevalence of rape among women. not men.</p>
<p>im so sorry to hear ur frd’s story … i hope her the best and can transfer to a place where is safe</p>
<p>As horrible as this is, the truth is it happens at every college. I currently attend UCSB and am always being told statistics about rape and sexual assault. The first time I believe was at orientation. 1 in every 4 to 5 girls will be raped by the time they finish college here, but I believe that’s about the same as the national average. I’m really sorry to hear about your friend though 
. Rape culture is a nasty thing both here and anywhere and I hope she is able to heal eventually.</p>
<p>Oh, and nuitari, 99% of rapists are men, and I’m not exaggerating that statistic; the victim is almost always female. So while you’re technically right, it’s very unlikely. And Operationivy, I wouldn’t say you don’t have to worry. While you probably wouldn’t be raped, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be concerned for females who do.</p>
<p>Wow I am getting ready to study in the US next year and I’ve never been there before but I’d like to thank everyone for the advice! I will keep all of this in mind for sure.
I am so sorry for your friend, no one deserves this and I hope she knows that she’s got tons of support. I wish her recovery and the best of luck.</p>
