<p>nice poem.</p>
<p>I would not recommend Manzanita for freshmen. Only 200 spaces are allocated for freshmen. This means some of your housemates have been here for a while and have already some sets of friends. BUT the cool thing here is that you get to know everyone in your building really well because there's are only 41 students. IT all depends on your RA. My RA is awesome and we do tons of activities as a house so we eat and party together when we can =) </p>
<p>Look into Anacapa and Francisco Torres (FT). FYI, I haven't met anyone yet who didn't like FT. Although it's off campus it's not that far at all. But if you're an introvert FT is definitely not for you. FT is sometimes called "**** Tower" for a reason. LOL So when you come here to SB for Spring Insight make sure to check out FT.</p>
<p>IV is always fun. Hot chicks are everywhere but it's also competitive to get laid because there are so many great looking guys around LOL So yeh, if you want to go to a university with great academics and college life UCSB is definitely for you.</p>
<p>elaborate on "great academics," thanks.</p>
