The geography of UCSB is the best in the world, with strong majors in physics and materials engineering and rich music culture. It should be noted that the admission rate of foreign students in this school is relatively low. UCSB is located on a peninsula 120 miles north of Los Angeles and 10 miles north of the seaside town of Santa Barbara. It is surrounded by the sea on both sides and close to the Pacific Ocean. It is a small town with beautiful scenery and strong literary atmosphere.
Because of its unique geographical location, UCSB has naturally become the most popular school in UC, and it is not easy for international students to enroll. UCSB won the favor of American college students in an informal vote in the early 1990s and was elected as the most interesting institution.
