UCSB Alumna chiming in here re: ages of sorority facilities on campus. Some were built in the 50s and have been modified, updated, or added onto over the years. Determining factor for me in choosing Santa Barbara was that it was the only campus offering Speech & Hearing Sciences as a major for undergraduate and graduate degrees (the UCSF campus added a PhD Program but that's another story).
minor swerve: There is no UC campus at San Luis Obispo (SLO); that is a California State University campus. The Cal campuses (in order of establishment) are Berkeley, San Francisco, Davis, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Irvine, Santa Cruz, and Merced (established in 2005, first new UC campus in >40 years). I know my Cal history and can explain those particular dates and the reasons for the selections of locations but it's not germane to the overall thread.
Research yields information on relative competitiveness of admission at each campus (e.g. #of applicants and #admitted, attending, etc.), as well as the overall admissions process for the UC system. It is difficult to quantify the caliber of education at each campus as all have different strengths and focuses. And yes it is that expensive which partially explains the influx of California students to Arizona schools. It's cheaper for them to attend here as out of state students than to stay in CA!!! And our Greek systems are growing and thriving.
As for the "even UCSB" comment, no harm no foul. We have our own beach, we don't care.
