Dining Off-Campus at UCSB
Close to UCSB is Isla Vista which is a small college community town. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance. There's burgers, pasta, sushi, burritos, etc! The prices, however, are a bit high and sometimes the quality isn't that great based on those prices. There are other restaurants a little further that are great, but most require a bit of commuting to get there.

Active Hotties
There's a wide range of different types of guys and girls at UCSB. A lot of students are athletic and adventurers. You see a lot of them doing some exercise on campus (such as running, biking, and the occasional person biking with a surf board implying that he's gonna surf).

Transportation
Transportation is excellent at UCSB. We have a bus system that's very helpful. Bus stops are located close to off-campus living. Part of what we pay goes towards getting bus-stickers which students use in order to ride the bus without having to pay. UCSB is also known for its bike paths. We have one of the largest! Most students commute by bike.

UCSB Strictness
UCSB is known as a party school so there are cops that hang around. When big crowds show up for parties there will be police on the look-out. Once I saw ambulance parked on the side probably knowing they'll be called. They're also strict with parking and biking. If you don't bike on the bike paths you get fined big bucks.
