UCSB dorm help needed!?

Question

i was wondering how far santa catalina (fransisco torres) is from the main ucsb campus. if anybody lived in the dorm was it hard getting to classes? should i get a bike before i leave for school? any info will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

FT is probably a 15-20 minute bike ride. There is a bike path and I'd say it's a pretty good leg workout. It's pretty flat, but when it gets windy, it's kinda difficult. Also when the rain comes, a lot of people skip class. Be sure to get a bike! There are some IV bike shops that sell bikes pretty cheaply if you don't want to bring one from home. Hope that helped!
