Tropicana Student Housing Apartments

I’ve truly enjoyed my time at Tropicana Gardens. I lived in a UCSB dorm during my first year, but I was never a fan of the dining hall food. Here, though, the food is actually good! Plus, the bedrooms are spacious, and you only have to share a bathroom with 2-3 people max, which is a huge bonus.

I lived at Gardens during my freshman year and had an amazing experience! The property is within walking distance of the UCSB campus, and there's a bus stop right in front of the main lobby. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the RAs are approachable and easy to talk to. If you're a UCSB student looking for a great off-campus community, I highly recommend it.

Tropicana Student Housing is a solid choice for UCSB students! The amenities, like the pool and gym, are a big plus, and the location makes getting to campus easy. The staff is responsive, and there’s a strong sense of community, which makes it a great place to meet people. Overall, it is a fun and convenient living experience!

After reviewing my options in IV housing, I decided on tropicana because their rent is about the same as other leasing companies but it includes utilities and tropicana gardens has a meal plan included in the rent, so overall it is a better deal.

I lived at Tropicana Gardens during my first year, and I absolutely loved it! The front desk staff were always super friendly and helpful. The RAs were also awesome—they helped me meet a ton of new people and made the whole college experience way less intimidating. I also stayed in a triple, and it was surprisingly spacious for a dorm.

Overall, Tropicana Gardens was a great place to live, and I definitely recommend it!
