Testimonials

There no doubt in my mind that Tropicana Del Norte was definitely the best decision for my first year in college. Since being here I’ve made friends that I know will be in my life for a long time to come, which is really what college is all about. Creating bonds.

From the very first few weeks that I lived here at Tropicana Del Norte I realized how different the environment was compared to other residence halls. It seems more like apartments rather than school dorms, which makes me feel more independent and free.

Being a FSSP kid from San Nicholas Dorms, moving to Tropicana Del Norte was a major change for a handful of reasons. Having my own bathroom was the instant selling point when deciding where to live but this is not the only reason.

Living here feels more like living on my own because our suite is pretty much an apartment without the kitchen but I still have the fun activities that come with living in the dorms.

Living at Tropicana has been a wonderful experience. Everyone always asks why I did not choose to live in the dorms my first year at UCSB, and I always answer that Tropicana is pretty much a more exciting, less expensive version of a dorm.
