I’m also a UCSB grad with a kid who is at UC Davis. Both offer a classic college town experience.

At UCSB, I’ll add that the party scene is bigger the closer you are to the beach and the closer you are to campus. The 6500-6700 blocks of DP, Sabado Tarde and Trigo have more happening than if you live in 6800+ blocks.

I agree with @youcee in that UCI doesn’t appeal to me. It goes to show what a good/poor tour guide can do to influence opinion. Our worst tour guide was at UCSC and neither of my kids have any interest in going there.
