My advice is to try to find a nice spot either

a. in the city of Goleta
b. 5 blocks or greater from DP - in the Apt area.

I am not sure how on campus housing is. I lived in IV for almost two years- not going to school. It was enough for a lifetime. I am actually very proud of all those who manage to make it through the school while living on DP.

Despite that, there are surprisingly a great number of ways to make friends aside from partying. A lot of surfers down there. All sorts of community involvement project. Your biggest hindrance to successfully pursuing your goals without too much partying will be your roomies.

It can be done. And no reason to feel like not partying = no friend, although my grandma did once tell me “I lost all my friends when I quit doing drugs”

hahah. You’ll be fine, it’s a great school with a great location.
