دانشگاه کالیفرنیا، سانتا باربارا

Beautiful campus, great location, nearby amenities include cheap burritos and a 24/7 rave taking place in a multi-acre walk-in bong. How anyone graduates is beyond me... But my kid managed to... With honors... As a div-I athlete... Go gauchos!

A world class university situated on 708 acres (main campus) located on the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. It is part of the 10 school University of California system and was founded in 1944. The original campus is located on a former Marine Corps base. Some of the original marine corps buildings are still in use today. It is one of the few Universities in the United States that has it own beach. Beside being located in a scenic beautiful location it has a well deserved reputation as a top academic institution with eight faculty winning the Noble Prize and six still actively working on campus.

What a wonderful place to come visit. I was so impressed with the high quality of education here, and also, the wonderful location, the entire spirit and vibe of this school. I had taught summers at UCLA for 10+ years, but never ventured down here before, so I was very pleasantly surprised. I will definitely be back to do a whole tour and check this school out. I love that it is in such a pretty Cali location, if you are looking for a school that is away from the crazy LA life, this is it. Congratulations to all the wonderful grads I met, and especially, our darling Amanda 💯❤️🤩🎉🎉🎉👌👌✨✨🙏.

The campus is beautiful, easily walkable and the views of the Pacific always make me forget I'm visiting my daughter at college.

One of the best and most beautiful universities in California. The courses and most of the professors are very good. The campus right next to the ocean is just breathtaking.

Unbelievably well-organized move-in day for Fall 2025! Sincere gratitude to all of the helpful guides who made the entire process simple and as stress-free as possible! Everything was clearly labeled with large signs and straight-forward guidance delivered with kindness and patience. Amazing job, UCSB! It looked like all hands were on deck helping make this process smooth for new students! We appreciate your coordinated efforts. Go Gauchos!

The most beautiful campus I have ever seen. Visitor friendly with the nice visitor center and easy parking. Taking school here should be quite fortunate.

Beautiful and breath taking scenery with a nice laid back atmosphere! * There are a few photos that have been posted twice. I was having internet connection issues and it was also my first time posting photos onto Google Maps.

The University of California, Santa Barbara, is frequently celebrated in my coastal and academic circles as a rare gem where the breathtaking beauty of its seaside campus serves as a vibrant backdrop for world-tier research in materials science and physics. From numerous discussions with local professionals and former students, it is evident that UCSB fosters a uniquely multidisciplinary and collaborative environment, often praised by my acquaintances for its ability to produce Nobel-caliber breakthroughs while maintaining a high-level, student-centric focus on undergraduate mentorship. It is truly remarkable to observe how the institution maintains such a transparent and respectful dedication to environmental preservation and coastal research, qualities that the general public increasingly recognizes as the cornerstone of its high-ranking global prestige. Many people I know personally emphasize the "Gaucho" culture’s ability to balance intense academic rigor with a healthy, holistic lifestyle, proving that a top-tier educational experience can be as mentally enriching as it is physically inspiring. In the broader consensus of the California community, the university stands as a distinguished hallmark of the UC system, rightfully respected for its sophisticated synthesis of intellectual curiosity and a forward-looking, globally impactful vision.

The time I spent here was wayyy better than any vacation I had ever been on! 💯. Learned a lot of chemistry too. Chillest location and ppl on earth + u can surf on campus (so its basically paradise).

An ever green, beautiful, quite, and, easily accessible facilities make this university enjoyable yet academically productive. This university has a quarterly based system; so, classes are fast.

校園就在海灘邊是一所兼具學術與風景特色的大學，值得一遊。

One of the most beautiful campus in the world. Right in the ocean with perfect weather - and the campus just the right size!

Gorgeous campus with lovely people. Will never forget the time I spent there!

Great campus, wonderful location, great weather most of the year, my son likes UCSB a lot.

A great university — my alma mater — at an unbelievably paradisiacal location between the mountains and the sand, with beaches on campus, perfect weather, a constant ocean breeze, and a wonderfully positive vibe. I still have never met someone who went to school here who did not love it. Some of the greatest years of my life. Such a special place. I am so grateful for my time here.

What a beautiful campus!! They’re right on the beach👍👍👍. Love their buildings!

Super fun group of Students and Earth collaborating together...Maybe Witches aren't aloud to enroll!

Beautiful campus. Toured it in 2013 (long time ago). Would have liked to attend there, however, it didn't work out that way. Unfortunate what happened a year later. School is beautiful. Area is beautiful.

Great climate, lots of bike paths, and walking trails.
