Advice for Transfers: UCSB has a lot of orgs, activities, resources, and events, so stay informed and don’t be afraid to branch out! It will help make your stay here at UCSB easier, more fun, and will help you make friends along the way. If there’s one thing I learned here at UCSB, is that there’s a group of friends for everyone because UCSB is so diverse (and friendly), so just keep talking to people and trying new things! You’ll never know who you’ll meet or what you’ll discover.
