[quote=Anonymous]UCSB is a great school. It is on the beach (so 5 minute walk from many dorms to the ocean). The infrastructure is mostly dated. The bicycle lanes have the right of way (meaning pedestrians need to treat crossing a bike lane like crossing the street). The shortcoming for my DC was that it was not really city accessible. We are also DC. Importantly, the tuition and fees are locked in at your freshman rate For up to 6 years. Also, make sure to knock the cost of health insurance off the price tag if your student will be on your insurance. I calculated the cost (setting aside travel) as around $58K/year once DC tag was factored in. Most kids live in Isla Vista (the development next door to the school) after freshman year. Smart kids having a lot of fun. Good luck with the decision, I would say UCSB over Pitt if you can afford it but I am from CA and UC educated so I think it feels less far to me.[/quote]
