UC Santa Barbara Campus

It's incredible being able to live right next to the beach. In this tour, I will show you how close we are to the beach and what activities are possible when you come here.

The Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall is the lecture hall inside of the music building but it also acts as a concert hall for many musical events. Multiple of my classes are located here and it seats around 500 people.

Anacapa is one of many residence halls that first years can live in here on campus. It is two stories and is located conveniently walking distance away from multiple dining commons as well as important academic buildings such as The Davidson Library!

The tenth floor is the party floor! For some reason the tenth floor was partying on a Wednesday night and they’ve got an awesome group of people. Their RA is also pretty dang cool and the view is great too, but for some reason I decided to come at night so y’all can’t see that view right now. All the floors in Santa Catalina are pretty awesome, but just pray that the elevator doesn’t break down if you live up here.

Here's a look into what my typical Saturday looks like! I usually clean my room with my roommates, then head to the beach or library to study. The night typically ends with me and my friends hanging out in the dorms or going out to grab some food.

While our lecture halls can be packed it’s rare for everyone to show up to class, and in your section, which is separate from lecture and takes place at a different time, you’ll meet in a smaller classroom. We have a bunch of different halls around campus where classes are held and this is a typical little classroom inside of Ellison. The TAs that lead section are always awesome (at least in my experience) and are extremely knowledgable about their subjects. They are an amazing resource and I highly recommend taking advantage of them if you need help. And that goes for whatever college you attend.

Welcome to paradise! Isla Vista is the college town that surrounds UCSB and is one square mile of a college student's dream! Del Playa is the most famous street in IV, because it is the closest to the beach and holds most of the house parties on the weekends. You will see students biking back and forth from class, surfers carrying their boards to Sands beach, and friends grabbing Free Birds nachos after a night on the town. It can get pretty loud and rowdy at times, but IV is our home: raccoons, skunks, and all!

This is my favorite spot to hang out, right next to campus!

The top of Davidson has some awesome views and a lot of the upper floors are quite floors so they’re great to study on. If you’re visiting campus or are a new student on your way to UCSB I recommend checking out these floors, as you can see some extremely old photos of the campus and some miniature models of the school. And what school gives you the option to pull all-nighters during finals week with an Oceanview? Pretty sure only this one.

Here is Storke Tower! It is located right by the University Center as well as the campus bookstore. It is a 175 ft tall bell and clock tower. The bells inside play a jingle every hour and the bells also strike different times depending on what hour it is.

Meet my best friend Keshav Dixit! He is a second-year econ/accounting major here at UCSB. Keshav is also a part of one of the professional business fraternities, Delta Sigma Pi. Learn about what Keshav likes about UCSB and what his frat experience was like.

Welcome to my room! My old room now! We’ve got a bathroom in the suite which is awesome and a stunning view of the mountains, rooms on the other side overlook the ocean and Channel Islands. It’s not cramped at all, its cozy, but there is room to have your stuff not all tossed in a corner.

Karina is one of my roommates and in this video she talks about her likes and dislikes of UCSB and why she decided to go here.

Thank you so much for making it all the way through the tour. I hope this helped you in determining if UCSB would be the right fit for you. For me personally, UCSB has been everything and more and has become my dream school. I know the college choosing process can be stressful but just try to keep your head up and remember that everything will turn out great. Good luck friends!

Enaiya is one of my roommates and in this video she talks about her likes and dislikes of UCSB and why she decided to go here.

This is a video tour of my dorm room in Anacapa! I live in a triple-meaning I live with two other girls. The room comes with a desk, curtains, mattresses, chairs, recycling/trash, two closets, and 3 drawers.

In this video, I answered multiple of some FAQs that prospective students might want to know!

Rachel and Katelin are some of my friends that I've met at school and in this video they talk about the pros and cons of UCSB and why they decided to go here.

There are multiple meal plans that you could choose from and each time you go into a dining common, they swipe your card which takes away one swipe from your meal plan. Swipes reload each week and repeats again starting monday with your full count of swipes.

Hello! My name is Yu Ishii and I will be showing you around the campus of University of California, Santa Barbara through these next few videos. I am originally from Portland, Oregon and I am a first year communication major here at UCSB. Hope you enjoy these videos!

In college, it's okay to take a different path than the one we've been planning the take! In this video I talk about how I've struggled with different classes and the path I took to change my major for the better!

Welcome to Campbell! Congrats you’re one of 700 people in this room but for some reason the professor always seems to be starting at you in lecture. This is one of our typical lecture halls on campus and while it can get crowded not everyone attends lectures, as not all teachers make them mandatory. I highly recommend finding a group of people in every lecture, even if they are random people, as its nice to have a spot every class, and to have people you can ask for notes or study with. Taking advantage of professors and office hours is really up to you in classes this size, but when you get into the upper division classes your lecture will get smaller and you’ll find yourself day dreaming about the days when you were a freshman and you still thought you could get a 4.0.
