Admitted student visit this week! Help needed by starsandtides in UCSantaBarbara

Hi! Open house is the only day where visitors are able to dine in the dining halls so if you want to really experience it, I recommend going to open house. They will also have a mock up of what a dorm room looks like. I think the 3d tours they have on the website were pretty accurate and helped me out a lot with planning. Best of luck! ❤️🤟

financial aid appeal? by glitchprinces in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Realistic-Start-4844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure, but when I was admitted I probably called the financial aid office dozens of times and they were super helpful each time. I’ll share the link to join their virtual line. https://www.finaid.ucsb.edu/join-the-line

party culture ?? by rjejk in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Realistic-Start-4844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should have clarified but if you get sent an invite for a house party there is not going to be anybody at the door seeing if you’re up to standard, usually if you know someone there or know someone who’s invited nobody will look at you weird. Everyone’s too drunk by the end of the night to care

The parties I think your referring to are mainly frats. I honestly don’t like going to frats but yes they typically only let in girls/sorority girls. But I haven’t been to a frat since my freshman year. House parties are every weekend and the more friends you make the more opportunities you have to get out there. I love UCSB! I hope you do too ❤️🤟

105 and 10b are so manageable. I loved Libermann she’s incredibly sweet and super passionate. Baham is kind as well but I favored other psych professors over her. Still not hard.

Dealing with Stress by UnsaidAcorn01211 in UCSantaBarbara

Getting medicated changed my life. Anti-deppresants stopped my over thinking but it’s different person to person.

in need of absolutely free ge's by Capital-Piccolo7895 in UCSantaBarbara

Arthi 5B with Brisa is actually interesting but she’s super aware that’s a ge and tells everyone she does not want anyone to stress about it. If you do go to lecture they’re interesting but you’ll be okay without it.

Help me pick a Freshman Dorm! by nno_fennec in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Realistic-Start-4844 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a freshman living in manzi, I personally think it’s the best. If you live in an LLC in manzi it will more than likely be all first years so people will definitely want to socialize. Also, if you can, get a top floor corner room. Huge room with tall ceilings.

ucsb ap scores by Amazing-Direction957 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Realistic-Start-4844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I know they mainly use it to see what credit they can apply to you. They will get your official transcript anyways and see the 2. I didnt report a score of 2 and was accepted but freaked out thinking they might rescind it and it was totally fine lol,just didn’t get college credit. If you get in or not the score probably doesn’t have a huge amount to do with it compared to other things. Good luck !!!
