Describe your college experience

I have had an amazing experience at school. I have met my best friends while also been able to learn about a major that I am passionate about. I have been able to enjoy all the natural beauty of Santa Barbara while also being balanced with my academics

Tip for future students

This school is a great work hard play hard school. The naturally great weather makes it so you want to be outside all the time. I would say if you go here you need to be able to balance your time and get work done during the week so you can do outside beach activities during the weekends.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been "people and wildlife" a class about how humans interact with wildlife. It is an Environmental Studies class and I loved it because I got to learn about many different interesting species and how we interact with them. I learned how development effects animals and how they adapt to be able to live with us.

Career goals

I hope to go back to school and get a masters so that I can teach later.

Ideal way to spend a free night

The best way to spend a free night would be with my friends. We may stay in and watch a movie or go out to downtown Santa Barbara to either get a drink or some food. In Santa Barbara there is an endless amount of thing to do at night.
