The University of California is a good place for someone who is determined to succeed and has good self control. The party culture of this school is easy to get caught in and can be damaging. The academics of this school are superb and the faculty are all top of their chosen fields. The town of Santa Barbara costs a lot of money and the demographics reflect such statistics.
