Worst of

Worst Things

  1. There is no football team.
  2. The administrative staff is really impersonal - nobody really makes an effort to help students, and they have to be responsible for double-checking their own credits. It takes a lot of effort to figure out where to go and what to do.
  3. You don't finish the school year until mid-June.
  4. Isla Vista has bad parking and loud partying.
  5. Nobody wants a relationship.
  6. There is a high cost of living.
  7. The really bad landlords and no rent control in Isla Vista.
  8. The streets are frequently dirty and full of trash after weekend nights.
  9. Restaurants and movie theatres downtown close too early.
  10. Cops are heavy-handed on ticketing.

Expensive

Tuition is a steep $31,746, one of the most expensive rates in the country.

Expensive to Just Get By

IV Rentals Are OVERPRICED!

Small, ugly, old, expensive, and disgusting housing. Monopolies and most businesses take advantage of the fact that we don't have a choice as college students to really live anywhere else! Other than being by the ocean, its horrible.
