Dylan

we're all surfers and partiers. we're very wealthy. many people are blonde.

Zac

We party all of the time, tons of ridiculously good-looking sexually-active women. That UCSB's students just get drunk and fuck and hook up with each other all of the time. That we are alcoholics. Though it is not as prevalent these days, for a very long time and ending during my freshman year, UCSB was stereotyped as a cesspool of STD's.

Party school! Underwater basketweaving is the most popular major. Surfers, rich kids, beautiful people who lay on the beach all day and never go to class. Ritsy titsy. Beach town. Drinking, drinking, and more drinking. UCSB = Univeristy of casual sex and beer.

Obviously the largest stereotype is that we are big party school. I have also heard that everyone at UCSB is blonde and fit and goes to the gym a lot. And that a lot of people have STDs.

Nikki

UCSB is stereotyped as a party school on the beach with really good looking kids who drink a lot of beer, have casual sex and openly do drugs. Over the past few years, though, this reputation has died down a little and UCSB is getting more recognition as a competitive public school.

Celeste

UCSB is seen as a big party school with a huge Halloween party scene. UCSB students are seen as college kids who party more than they study and generally do not worry about responsibilities.

Kristin

That we are a huge party school who can't get their school work done.

Melissa

It was no suprise coming to UCSB as a freshmen, that UCSB has a reputation for being the University of Casual Sex and Booze. Then there is the University of California's Spoiled Brats (although I think USC - University of Spoiled Children - holds the torch for that one). Other stereotypes about UCSB and its students include: party school on the beach, good students who know how to have a good time, blonde sorority girls and surfer guys, and the "fun" UC school, the school with the most STDs/STIs.

Sarah

Stereotypes about UCSB & UCSB students... -party school, just party and go to the beach -no diversity -not very smart
