Ok so I see that you are an engineering major, all I can say is that’s the strongest major here @ UCSB and the most competitive to get into. The engineering program here is intense and there are alot of outside programs affiliated with the major. Aside from UCSB having THREE nobel prize winners in the past two years (2 in physics and 1 in economics) all other aspects of academic life here is phenomonal. I’m actually a transfer student from UCSD and I can say that I don’t regret the move I made at all. I mean, yea the parties here can get pretty out of hand but hey, it’s college! This is a true college atmosphere, the beach, world renowned professors, great social life, great college town (Isla Vista)…I mean what more can you want out a college experience. If your dad won’t let you apply b/c of the parties, then I wouldn’t know what to tell you. If he trusts you enough to know that you’ll get you business done here, then there should’nt be a problem. It’s not that hard to say no to a party here, there’s just too many to ever be missing out on anything. One thing I’ve noticed here @ this school is that the majority of the people get their studies done b4 they go out…that’s just the way it works usually. So I wish you luck in all that you do and I hope YOU make the decision on where you want to spend the next 4 years of your life.
