学校历史

加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的前身是1891年建立的安娜布雷克学院，学院在1909年被加州政府接管，随后的1912年更名为圣塔芭芭拉州立学院。建立之初，圣塔芭芭拉学院的校长想将学院打造成一所小而精的文理学院，作为“西海岸的威廉姆斯学院”。1949年学院从联邦政府获得了更多的土地，并进行扩张。第二次世界大战之后，圣塔芭芭拉学院改名为加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校。圣塔芭芭拉是加州大学系统获得的第三个校区。

学校特点

1. 由于加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校就在海边，学校经常被戏称为“海景度假村”，其校园远离繁华大都市，非常适合静心学习，同时也有优美的景色和周边的小镇满足学生的大部分生活文娱需求。

2. 学校采用Quater制度，每学期只有十周的时间，学习节奏会比较快，同时UCSB学术氛围也非常浓厚，学业压力会比较大。

3. UCSB会为学生提供非常多学术上和技能上的自我提升的机会，但是由于学校规模非常大，这些机会比较分散，需要学生自己去寻找。
