Living in Isla Vista (not a student)
I have an offer in the Goleta area and am looking for apartments. I've found some listings in Isla Vista, but I've been reading around and it seems like its a college neighborhood? I'm 25 and not affiliated with UCSB at all, and it's my first time living in Santa Barbara. Are there any non-students living in Isla Vista or is it recommended to not stay there?
