NCMom, I was concerned to read this thread because Santa Barbara is one of my son’s top three choices as he waits for acceptances to go out. But looking at the UCSB Econ. dept. website, it looks a lot like the level of support my older son gets at SDSU - which is to say, the information is available, and you can make it work if you work at it, but no, it won’t be handed to you on a platter. I guess that’s just about all I expect from a state school. One of the big things you typically learn at Big State U is that it’s sink or swim. If you learn to swim it’s great.
