I can say that I came into UCSB with similar misconceptions that “everyone partied”, etc. Though there are people who party, I think it’s not that different from any other college where you can find parties if you want and you can avoid them if you want to as well. There are quite a lot of people who don’t party or rarely party and aren’t that hard to find (i.e. you don’t have to live on the scholars floor or sub-free floor). People take schoolwork pretty seriously and you’ll find a lot of people studying, in the library, etc. through the week.

And fred11, you’ve seriously never heard of a computer science major? It’s one of the highest paying majors in general. A lot of the people you see who work for software companies like Google, Yahoo, Apple, etc. were computer science majors.
