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.

Boys Boys Boys!

There are quite a few boys that are really hot. We tend to have a lot of baseball boys, soccer boys, and surfer boys. Which means they have hot hair and hot bods.

Beach Boys

For the most part the guys on campus are pretty good lookin, especially when theres surfers walking around in their wet suits. Most of the guys are really chill and I really thought the guys popped out of hollister ads at first.

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.
