Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

It’s hard to beat a surfer boy biking to the beach with his wet suit down to his waist and a surfboard under his arm or a couple of bikini-clad girls playing volleyball on the sand. Students agree that the hottie level is high here, but they disagree on the inside beauty. "Promiscuous" and "snobby" are the negative words associated with some students, but others are described as extremely friendly and mellow. Most UCSB students don’t expect any big dates—UCSB is more of a “spend money on a party that will draw a lot of girls” than a “spend money on one girl” kind of school.

Dating occurs, but just not as often as meeting up with your crush at a party or downtown at the bars. Long-term relationships are more likely to be formed through working together at University activities. At least one thing is certain: UCSB students do find each other very attractive. Just about everyone plays some sort of intramural sport, and it’s easy to spend most of your time outdoors, which is how a lot of people stay tan and in shape. Eating disorders, however, apparently run rampant at this campus, probably because everyone is tan and in shape.

Gorgeous People Everywhere

No matter what team you bat for you will that almost everyone is hott here! Unfortunately there are a lot of jerks but everyone cares about their appearance here and many times I've been caught drooling over my fellow classmates in class, at the beach, and everywhere at IV. Its hookup central but you if you tried hard you can maintain a relationship. Dress during the daytime is casual and you can see somebody in shorts almost every single day.

Facts

Social Scene

Socially, UCSB students excel. Overall, people want to meet one another, so don't be surprised if you get invited to a keg party or an outdoor concert as you walk down the street. In fact, just walk into any big, open house party—you will most likely be welcomed and handed a cup.

Hookups or Relationships?

Hookups are absolutely the majority over relationships. To most students here, the idea of a romantic date is a 15-minute make-out session next to a crowded keg. Welcome to UCSB.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

The best place to meet someone depends on what you are looking for. For a one-night hookup, a house party on the 6600 block of Del Playa is the place to be. For the miraculous long-term UCSB relationship, you’re best off looking in class, a club, or at a local coffee shop.

Dress Code

Students dress extremely casual here—it can almost be described as beach casual. For guys, board shorts, sandals, and shades are very common around here. For girls, sun dresses, sandals, and jeans are the dress of choice. Do not be surprised if you see bikini-top-clad students in a lecture hall.
