| LSDguy- if you're not one of the lucky ones to get a residence hall permit, you either can't bring your car or choose to live in a university owned off campus apartment or the FT residence hall, since they have space for parking for all occupants | |

| calvinator- as far as the off campus housing goes, is it really that far off campus, ill be a transfer, isnt the whole town college kids, so the whole town is one large "campus" right, you are not really removed from much.
So, university apartments have parking for all occupants right?
great. cuz im not leaving my f-ing car. | |

| I'm pretty sure we're all going to have a great social experience whereever we decide to live, but its usually what you make of it. The universirty apartments are right next to campus / IV , so its really not that bad. The university apartments have there own parking lot, but they don't have assigned spots, but usually enough space for residences, or at least thats what they told me. | |

| so i'm a new transfer student attending ucsb, i',m staying at san mig for the summer, anyways i'm debating weather to stay at manzanita or san raf, i heard/read pros and cons of each, it would be nice to get a beach view from manzanita, san raf i was told that if i picked transfer living i would get the 3rd floor of the tower though i would like the 7th or 8th. Is Manzanita really quiet? a single in san raf could be something i'm interested in | |

| Westgate info PLEASE!!!
Okay, I got my housing results and I was given a single bedroom in Westgate with one other occupant. From all of the posts I just read this is the idea I have of it in my head:
A) It's rundown compared to Santa Ynez
B) It's quiet since it's on the end of the IV
Please anybody (!) give me some info about this place. I like to have fun and I love a place where I can get crazy when I'm not studying. I'm already over 21, but I don't want a quiet place where people are being all calm and stuff when it's a possible party day. So I need to know some realities about my future home for 9 months. Has anybody lived there, or has anyone visited there, or what? | |

| I don't see why people see FT's distance from campus as such a downside. I rather like that at the end of the day I leave school and go "home." I feel like I would get tired of staying on campus 24/7. I don't know, I like the idea that it's really close but still off campus, I like the separation of school and home. The only inconvenience I guess is having to bike back in between classes if you have a large break.
Still, FT is my first choice. | |
