An inside look in freshman dorm
Dorms
Check out Santa Catalina Residence Hall, formerly known as FT. It is the largest and newest dorm at UCSB. Unlike every other freshman dorm, FT is off campus, provides personal bathrooms, and has many more cool features. Take a look at what FT looks like and see if its the right dorm for you.

Brianna and izzy give you off campus living tips
Dorms
A majority of UCSB's student body lives off campus and the process for finding housing can become very confusing! Here are a few tips to make things a little easier! Also, figure out what rent you are comfortable paying for monthly early. The cost of living in IV ranges from $500 to $800 a month sharing a room and up to $1500 living in a single. The streets near campus or the beach will be louder and a bit more expensive! Also, if you are going home during the summer and your lease starts in June or ends in September, you will need to find a subleaser during Spring Quarter which can become very frustrating! Use housing resources in the Ucen and start asking around early to make things easier!

Sadly, all good things must come to an end
Dorms
Thank y’all for coming on the tour with me! And welcome to my new room! UCSB is great for helping people find a fit and it made many other and I find our place here. Whether you’re outdoors all the time or like watching Netflix all night long you will find a place. People are so open to adventure here, whether that is running a marathon, or marathoning Lord of the Rings during finals week. I hope y’all find your home for the next however many years and all the luck in the world with the future. Its big and scary but go into it head first and you’ll conquer it!

Check in with dagan outside santa catalina the dorm informally known as ft
Dorms
We’ve got a dining common right next to our dorm, pool tables, an actual pool, and basketball courts. And did I mention the beach. While FT is a bit of a trek from campus initially you get used to it and the dorm quickly becomes your home. The people are awesome and there is always someone awake doing something. Depending on the time of the week different things are going on, but you’ll nearly always find someone to study with in an espacio or chill with down at the pool.

Welcome to the tenth floor penthouse!
Dorms
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.
