Actually, a couple UC dorms will house SBCC kids on SBCC-only floors, based on a lottery. There were more until the end of my son’s first year ('01-'02) when SBCC was permanently tossed out of one of the big dorms, Francisco Torres. The official story was UCSB crowding.

Allow me a slight correction. None of the UC-owned dorms will house sbcc students. There used to be 3 private dorms in the ucsb area, and Francisco Torres (FT as it’s affectionately known) was one of them. Due to crowding in its dorms the UC system bought FT, so that made it off limits to sbcc students. There are still 2 private dorms in the area, both of which will house sbcc students.
