ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø

Visit UCSB

Saying 72 and sunny is no joke around here. It’s a way of life at UC Santa Barbara. And it’s not just the dreamy weather. When we talk about our idyllic environment, we mean our intellectual and cultural atmosphere as much as we do our beachside location.

Please note: The UC Santa Barbara ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is now open with restrictions. Please visit the webpage to make the most of your visit.
