Co-curricular activities play an important role in the quality of
life at UC Santa Barbara. Social and cultural activities outside of
class give students opportunities to meet new people, gain leadership
skills, provide service to their community, and receive a well-rounded
education.
At UCSB, there is certainly no shortage of activities for students
to choose from. Starting with the first week of classes, Discovery Days
provides students with an introduction to opportunities on campus and
in their community. There are activities for students with all types of
different interests and backgrounds. If a student can’t find what they
are looking for, they can even start a club or organization around their
specific interests.
