Today The Princeton Review (who rates the top colleges and universities) named my alma mater, The University of California at Santa Barbara, the number 9 party school in the country! Yeah, I know, it’s an interesting claim to fame, back when I was there I think we were number 2, so I guess things have calmed down a bit (although I don’t remember partying a whole lot, I was busy in the lab being a pharmacology major – but I admit I had my moments, haha). Party school reputation aside, UCSB has to have one of the most beautiful campuses anywhere, and I totally miss the awesome weather. If you get a chance to visit Santa Barbara, go! And while you’re there, have a Freebirds burrito and a Blenders in the Grass smoothie for me!
*EDITED TO ADD: I am cracking up here – I just saw that UCSB was also ranked number 4 in the “Lots of Hard Liquor” category, and number 18 in “Reefer Madness” LOLOLOL! Now I can tell you that I smelled a joint many times when walking around campus, but as far as the hard liquor thing goes – from what I remember, among the poor college students there was a heck of a lot more Natural Light than hard liquor!
Julie,
UCSB…Rock on. My wife and I got married in Santa Barbara and she even attended UCSB for a semester. Now we are just relaxing in Nashville.
