UCSB has free tutoring called CLAS for a lot of the basic undergrad classes such as math, chem, and physics, so that can help you stay on track. Housing is not just for the first year - they have a 2+2 program where if you live on campus the first 2 years you’re guaranteed university housing (likely apartments) for the next two years. Students can ride the local buses for free, so you can get to downtown Santa Barbara easily. There’s also an Amtrak station a couple of miles from campus. To stay in the Honors program students have to do some volunteer work, so there are opportunities for that.
