<p>Being a conservative at UCSB has caused me no problems so far. I find that people here are generally very nice and willing to listen. Professors and a majority of the students are liberal like most UC’s, but its nothing like the people at UCSC or UCLA. I’m not a political science major but I do follow politics very closely. (As a history major, we have the most liberal prof. on campus I think lol) So far my roommates haven’t complained about me watching Glen Beck everyday although I have had some good debates with a few of them. I always disliked Santa Barbara because it was so liberal, but you have to remember your going to be living in Isla Vista/Goleta, surrounded by students and professors not the Santa Barbara crazy liberals. Overall, UCSB has exceeded my expectations by far. I find that people are willing to listen and have good discussions even if you disagree. As a conservative, I love it here.</p>
