As college applications approach for seniors, SMHS Newspaper has decided to do reviews of popular colleges that we have personally visited in order to give a better idea and picture to college applicants.  Today's featured college is UC Santa Barbara.  In our visit to UC Santa Barbara, we felt very warmed and welcomed there.  We each received a folder filled with information ranging from admissions standards to extracurricular activities.  We then were entertained with a witty and informative talk about the college, followed by a very entertaining tour of the campus.  The college's strong attention to detail and the way they cared about each student backed up their strict admission standards.  A few of the highlights were:

-Dorm rooms with ocean views(we're not kidding)

-Amazing dining options ranging from personal breakfast burritos to pizza to even tri-tip on some nights

-Strong programs in the sciences and business

-Large athletic programs

-Caring professors

-Nice surrounding area

-Accredited university with top-notch students and professors

We hope that you enjoyed the college as much as we did and strongly encourage you to visit the beautiful campus and get a better understanding of how UC Santa Barbara would make a great choice of colleges for you to apply to.
