13. Transportation at UCSB

14. Location vs Location
UCSB is right on the beach, has
sunny weather, is in Santa Barbara
which is a cool city, and everything is
close together so you can bike and
save money on gas.
There is a beach, and the nature is
pretty cool. There’s also a good bus
system for transportation.

15. Summary
Overall, these colleges are pretty
legit, I liked both of them and they
both sound like a lot of fun. They both
give out money to help pay, and they
both have great locations and the
majors I want.
