UC Santa Barbara Campus

Storke Plaza is the heart of campus. There are always festivals, fairs, concerts, gigs, and even free events going on at Storke Plaza. The tower was first erected in 1969 and stands 175 feet tall. The bell strikes at every hour, alarming the entire campus when classes start.

The music library is exactly what it sounds like. A library. For music! It’s a really nifty place to just come and chill with friends to just relax and talk, or even study in a small group. Some of the rooms are larger than this so its nice to talk advantage of them with a few people, and if you or your friends are audiophiles you can come in here and tune out the world for a few. The library is free to use for everyone and its nice to just come in for a little break every once in a while and there is a huge selection of music to listen to so you can jam to Mozart or Kendrick, just try not to tune out your textbook or midterms might not go so well.

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!

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.

Each year, all of UCSB's fitness and activities club participate in the Welcome Week Club Fair. You can find a range of activities from rowing, fencing, volleyball, and even scuba diving! If you're interested in a sport, UCSB is bound to have it.

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.

The is a view of Campus Point and all the fun things you can do here! It isn't every day that you can go surfing right after class without needing to carry or clean any of the equipment... oh wait... YOU CAN! This beach also leads to a beautiful trail along the beach and lagoon to the start of the street Del Playa in IV.

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!

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.

Lets take a ride through campus!

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.

Here at UCSB, there are so many areas for students to lay out on the grass and hang out. One of the most popular among first years is the green space right outside of Anacapa because it is right by many of the dorms as well as the beach so you get a little bit of everything!

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!

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.
