<p>Now, ‘Santa BABEra’ is one I’ve never heard… </p>
<p>There are multiple other threads about the party school bit if you search the forum. In summary, UCSB has exceptional social opportunities, and it is up to you to be mature enough to find your own balance with schoolwork, since that is also exceptional (and therefore challenging). However, yes, there are students who are not interested in parties, and there are many other things to do, and many students who don’t party. More use partying as a study break, and both study hard and enjoy what Santa Barbara has to offer.</p>
<p>There are a lot of Asians at UCSB, and I understand there is on campus Asian food as well as off campus but I can’t address that as well as current students might be able to do. I would open my horizons to all ethnicities there, personally, for a fuller college experience. </p>
