Becoming involved with different programs, such as EOP, has greatly improved my experience here at UCSB. Overall, I would say my time here has been challenging yet rewarding.

You can feel like a social butterfly or feel completely alone. Despite this, I believe here at UCSB there will always be someone out there rooting for you that can help you.
