That’s what you can expect when you live at Tropicana Gardens, a residence hall for UCSB students. At Tropicana Gardens, you’ll live with fellow students and experience college dorm life. A home-on-your-own hall in a lush tropical setting, with all the amenities you need so you can focus on your academics, socialize and hang out or participate in one of many activities as you transition into college life. What’s more, you’ll benefit from the dedicated support of our experienced staff and outstanding team of student Resident Assistants. 

Located next to UCSB, our furnished suites offer more space than a traditional dorm room, with two or three bedrooms, a living room and bathrooms. You have your choice of single, double, triple and quad occupancy bedrooms—and we help you find your roommates with our roommate matching service. Our resort-style amenities include a heated pool, fitness center, 24-hour quiet study lounge and onsite dining hall, the Trop Café.
