I think my college is slightly different than most colleges any of you'd go to, unless you plan on going to UCSB or UCSC, or perhaps some of the other beach universities. My school kind of combines a very academic program with a lot of idiots, slackers, surfers, stoners, drunkards, and a healthy portion of nerds. The ladies though... they have the traditional California hotness that people not from CA might imagine or see in movies. UCSB is just a weird place, in that it is one of the nicest campuses on this continent (next to Santa Cruz, further up from me towards the bay area), has all of those idiots, and yet it's becoming a huge research college, getting tougher to get into, prof's have won some Nobel prizes recently, etc etc. Anyone out of state I wouldn't recommend it though... unless you want to pay Ivy League prices for the place because of the area and the parties (like my roommate did... he rejected Brown and some other big colleges to come here just for the ocean, girls, parties). Anyway... for those going into college the next couple of years, don't expect anything I say about my experience here to be a glimpse into the future.
