Reviews
UCSB is a beautiful campus sits along the California coastline. The stunning ocean views, beautiful architecture, and atmosphere left a lasting impression. The maze on the south coastline is a pretty special set up. We met a couple of senior citizens there and enjoyed the sunset together.
Gorgeous campus with lovely people. Will never forget the time I spent there!
Beautiful campus smart cool people.. the best!
A world class university situated on 708 acres (main campus) located on the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. It is part of the 10 school University of California system and was founded in 1944. The original campus is located on a former Marine Corps base. Some of the original marine corps buildings are still in use today. It is one of the few Universities in the United States that has it own beach. Beside being located in a scenic beautiful location it has a well deserved reputation as a top academic institution with eight faculty winning the Noble Prize and six still actively working on campus.
One of the top all around public universities in the country in education, aesthetically, and for student choice. The only drawbacks are that there is no football team and thus no band. Independent and diverse perspectives are discouraged. If you identify as a progressive, then you'll be fine but anything other, it is frowned upon. Bicycles are the primary and exclusive mode of getting from place to place. Food choices are somewhat scarce in the neighboring Isla Vista and Goleta community unlike some of the other universities in CA. Recommend for higher learning and the location but not much else.
Beautiful and breath taking scenery with a nice laid back atmosphere!
* There are a few photos that have been posted twice. I was having internet connection issues and it was also my first time posting photos onto Google Maps.
One of the best and most beautiful universities in California. The courses and most of the professors are very good. The campus right next to the ocean is just breathtaking.
What a wonderful place to come visit. I was so impressed with the high quality of education here, and also, the wonderful location, the entire spirit and vibe of this school.
I had taught summers at UCLA for 10+ years, but never ventured down here before, so I was very pleasantly surprised.
I will definitely be back to do a whole tour and check this school out. I love that it is in such a pretty Cali location, if you are looking for a school that is away from the crazy LA life, this is it.
Congratulations to all the wonderful grads I met, and especially, our darling Amanda 💯❤️🤩🎉🎉🎉👌👌✨✨🙏.
