About Tropicana Del Norte
Students from around the world are drawn to the lively college community of Isla Vista (IV) next to the UCSB campus.
Tropicana Del Norte is located right in IV. Bus access to SBCC is super simple with the 15X MTD express bus to Santa Barbara City College stopping right outside our building every 30 minutes during the school week. This means you don’t need to bring a car, but you might want to bring your surfboard! The beach is just a short walk away.
Tropicana staff is committed to providing you with the ultimate first year college living experience and we work closely with both UCSB and SBCC campus faculty and staff to make that happen. Our management team lives on site so when questions come up (and they always do) we’re ready with answers.
