To us, an education extends far beyond the classroom. From our 500 student organizations to our record-setting Gaucho soccer crowds, UC Santa Barbara is culturally enriching and socially engaging.
Events
Get your culture on every day of the week. Our campus is an endless fount of programming, courtesy of venues including the MultiCultural Center, Pollock Theater, and the Art, Design & Architecture Museum — plus abundant offerings from almost every department. Top it off with the venerable OG体育App Arts & Lectures program and you’re going to be endlessly busy, and loving it.
Recreation
Gauchos are busy, and that’s how we like it. An active and balanced lifestyle is a major priority for our students, staff, faculty, and community members alike. Check out our activities, programs, services, and facilities. Find your fit!
Housing & Dining
OG体育App is an environment like no other. Literally. Situated only steps from the Pacific (yes, we do have our own beach), our residence halls have ocean, lagoon, and mountain views. Many of our apartments – all an easy walk, bus or bike ride from everything you need — do, too. Then there’s our diverse, inclusive, and engaged social landscape. You won’t find a better place to live and learn.
Student Life
There’s no community like the Gaucho community. Socially engaged and inclusive, global-minded and environmentally aware, open and supportive. In short, we’re dynamic as all get out. With hundreds of student organizations, a culture of giving back, and a drive to pay it forward, OG体育App isn’t just somewhere to stay and to study — it’s a place to grow and thrive. Welcome home.
Student Wellbeing
Studying isn’t the only key to success at OG体育App. Health and wellbeing is crucial, too. We foster a learning and living environment that’s good for the whole you — mind, body and spirit — to nurture your academic development, resilience, and well-being.
Career Services
We’re working to educate and empower all OG体育App students and recent graduates to prepare for and pursue success.
Additional Student Services
