UC Santa Barbara is renowned for its groundbreaking research and free-spirited academic culture. With its stunning location along the California coast, it is often regarded as one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. Staying on campus offered us the chance to truly experience the California lifestyle.

Every day, we attended lectures at UCSB and engaged in discussions with our teammates to develop business ideas. The campus tour and orientation helped us adapt smoothly to campus life, and using the university facilities and restaurants gave us a closer look at the daily lives of local students. A highlight was visiting the AlloSphere Lab in the Media and Art Technology program, where we experienced an advanced immersive audiovisual environment that showcased the innovative fusion of science, art, and engineering. Professor JoAnn Kuchera-Morin, who guided us through the lab, added a lighthearted touch by joking that it was unfortunate the Korean postdoctoral researcher wasn’t on campus that day.

After classes, we had plenty of free time in the evenings. We often walked along the beach or explored downtown Santa Barbara, soaking in its relaxed atmosphere. Everyone also enjoyed finding small activities that matched their own interests. Some of the most fun moments came from cooking meals together in the dorm or sharing dinners we brought back.

Known as the β€œAmerican Riviera,” Santa Barbara itself was a true highlight. The program included a city tour and a food tour, where we experienced Spanish-style architecture, breathtaking natural scenery, and a variety of local cuisine. These activities made for unforgettable memories.

On the weekend, we traveled to Los Angeles. From Hollywood Boulevard and downtown to beaches and art museums, we got to experience the diverse charms of California. And of course, we didn’t miss out on enjoying BCD Tofu House, which always tastes even better abroad!
