    Hey. was in Santa B last summer... was totally unreal... you should go without a doubt. i didnt know anyone who couldnt get a job if they wanted 1 just when you get there call round everywhere with your resume n they will ring u... definetely stay in Isla Vista, the college town just outside SB n dont listen 2 anyone saying to live in SB town in Haley cottages at least for the whole summer. the best part of SB is the college house parties and they go on in Isla Vista being in town would get really boring. most people live in IV but work in the city u can get a bus in that takes under half hour perfectly regular...go onto craigslist.com and look for summer sublets in IV...most oi the accom doesnt become available until June 16th around cos thats when college breaks up so u might av 2 stay in hostel r motel or Haleys in town till then El Prado Inn is great book a room and loads cram in, till then... if u go 2 SB ul av the best summer ever, beach beautiful its right in the city the city itself is beautiful more like a beach town than a city i dont no anuyone that didnt love it
