<p>UCSB over UCSD and UCLA…? O_o</p>

<p>^^Apparently UCSB Science and Technology department is really darn good. A lot of noble prize professors reside within that department. They just also opened a very urban modern engineering building [url=&lt;a href=“http://studioconover.com/color.php?category=institutional&project=ucsb-engineering-sciences-building]StudioConover[/url”&gt;http://studioconover.com/color.php?category=institutional&project=ucsb-engineering-sciences-building]StudioConover[/url</a>]</p>

<p>UCSB Materials pulls up the school. It is rated #4 and heavily cited in academic journals. </p>

<p>Most ppl still have the idea UCSB is a party school, but it is has a great engineering dept. </p>

<p>Plus 4 different areas in the physics department are rated top 6.</p>

<p>^^And the fact that UCSB is isolated by the beach and the mountains + including the nearest city being 20 minutes from the campus</p>
