Now that you've decided to attend UCSB, it's time to figure out housing. Tropicana Del Norte is an excellent alternative to on-campus residence halls and apartments in Isla Vista. We provide the essentials. Not just a room. Not an apartment. We are a home! While affiliated with UCSB, Tropicana Del Norte is a privately owned and operated off-campus residence hall. Don't let the off-campus part fool you; we are only one block from campus and are actually closer to several lecture halls than some on-campus residence halls. If you want to make the most of your first year and be provided the best first year experience then Tropicana Del Norte is the place for you!
