11. Student Quotes
“Coming from a high school of less than 300 kids, the size of
UCSB was a big shocker for me. If you're in a similar
situation, I would highly recommend enrolling in the
Freshman Summer Start program the summer before your
freshman year. It allows you to make friends and ease into
college in a smaller setting, making your freshman year that
much more enjoyable” – Emilie (Junior)
“At UCSB, I have many opportunities to excel, all while living
near a relaxed, "beachy" atmosphere. It's really the best of
both worlds” – Cole (Freshman)
