UC Santa Barbara
 

Greatest place to go to school on the west coast - potentially the country.

i officially hate you

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

There's some spots in La Jolla down here in San Diego that are just as beautiful and postcard worthy. That's a real beautiful shot. Picture Perfect... Santa Barbara is beautiful even if I'm alittle biased against it.. for other reasons.

Re: UC Santa Barbara

Re: UC Santa Barbara

Your suckitude knows no bounds.

Gotdamn I miss Cali.

Awesome view dude. I'm rather envious right now.

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

Very nice!

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

Is it just me, or does that moon look photoshopped in?

Also, to anyone visiting Santa Barbara looking for a nice place to stay, I highly reccomend the Simpson House Inn. It is the only bed & breakfast in North America to have received Triple A's Five Diamond Rating. The service is really wonderful.

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

Still lots of tar on the beach at IV? When I lived there, we had to keep a can of Kerosene by the door to clean our feet before we came in.
However, who can forget spring when the coeds starting wearing their bikini tops to class!

The tar comes and goes, usually if you spend a while on the beach you're gonna get tagged with a couple splotches if it is real bad.

Its nothing compared to the water though, your toes sometimes literally get stuck together from the tar if you go out surfing. Also the smell can be nauseating.

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

i have a friend who goes to USCB visitd himn there very nice place

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

Na I go to San Diego State. From the east bay as well though..

Santa Barbara is a nice area though. If it was alittle warmer and had less of the LA pollution in the water it'd be pretty damn close to perfection. But then again we've got both of those attributes down here in San Diego.

The state street crawl does entice me though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

UCSB... What we lack in inter-collegiate athletic prowess we make up for with women, parties, and... uh... sunsets.

Depends on how nice you want it and how many bedrooms and whatnot...

For my house its 4bd/2ba and I pay $570 for share the master bedroom, one pays $700 for his own room (small), and 4 pay $470 to share the small room.

I've heard anywhere from $900 for your own room and $700 a month to live in the same room w/ 2 other people.

Mostly I'd say you're gonna pay $450 for the [censored] ass ones to share a room, and $650 for the nice ones to share a room.

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

the cost sounds reasonable.

i could never the cost of living by the beach just because i dont enjoy it as much as other people. the weather is great though. i have always lived somewhat close to the beach but only visit it once or twice a year.

watching the sunset every day would cool when i am old and retired.

Arg, yes I was forgetting "the black tide"

As far as like main sports though, the closest we have to a good team is our womens basketball team.

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

I'm pretty sure I've been laid within 100 feet of your balcony.

Dammit. I should have gone to ucsb. I even went so far as to get accepted to UCSB CS PhD, but made some poor decisions afterwards.

The Black Tide is UCSB's claim to fame - for better or for worse.

When I was growing up back on the East coast, I remember hearing people bitching about how you got 10 months a year of sunny, windy weather. (I'm from Amherst, MA. My high school team plays real, real goot. We beat a bunch of college teams, although when we played Brown's team my senior year (they were #6 nationally at the time) we got pwn3d.) We did manage to win the national HS championship though, and our womens' varisity won it the next couple years as well.

It would've been fun to play the UCSB squad. Given the ass-handing-to we got from Brown, I can predict how the game would have gone, but it's still fun to play the best.

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

I attended UC Santa Barbara for a few semesters or quarters, can't remember. I left and transfered to Humboldt. Too many people in Santa Barbara and better smoke in Arcata, this was mid 70's. I think we paid under 300 for a decent 2 bedroom a few blocks from campus and tuition was 230. There was tar on the beach then and as far as sports UC Santa Barbara was a powerhouse in volley ball.

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

SDSU Aztecs rule!

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

and so do the SF 49ers.. though we've been run into the ground by a bunch of moronic General Manager decisions.

From the SF Bay Area as well?

Re: UC Santa Barbara
 

i live on the 6500 block...but i pay 520 to share a room the size of a cockroach..still awesome place
