Study Spaces at the University of California, Santa Barbara

The majority of UCSB students flock to the library for a quiet space to study, resulting in overcrowding. However, most students don’t know there is a multitude of other spaces for study around campus such as the student resource building or music library. We are a group of 5 UCSB students with a mission to provide an accessible directory of all available study spaces around campus, through this website. We hope that this project will succeed in more evenly distributing the students in various spaces, creating more quiet spaces for all to promote productivity.

Hello, my name is Victoria Maravilla and I am a 5th-year physics major and educational studies minor. After having spent many years at UCSB I was inspired to help the next generation of students and make their time here less stressful. I would also like to encourage students to use our website and other resources available to them. I cannot stress enough how helpful they are!
