University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)

Santa Ynez appartments are in my view the best student accomodation available. The appartments are massive and include a lovely kitchen and living room and huge balcony. The village is a quick 10min cycle from campus. The rent is extremely reasonable and includes utilities and village facilities (such as the pool hall, the gym, the study hall etc). And there are lovely resident assistants who organise community BBQs, and drop by often to just to say hello. I highly recommend Santa Ynez for those of you who like independent living (i.e. cooking for yourself and having your own appartment) and enjoy the idea of village living!

The university dorms excelled at creating a student community environment. However, the dorms are too cramped and too expensive.

it was a house for volunteering students from around the world. It was nice and everyone was friendly, I had an amazing time!

It was very well organized, we had the chance of a good price and quality.

It was the best solution I could have found. It was not too expensive, but it looked very pretty and was well furnished and clean
