  • Great place to live

    October 31, 2025
    I visited Tropicana last summer to help with my sister's move in. The person we met at the front desk, Linh, was really friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and the food is pretty good. I can see myself living here

  • Great Location + 24/7 Study Lounge

    October 31, 2025
    I toured Tropicana over the summer during my daughter’s move-in. The front desk staff, Linh, helped us a lot during the move in. I like that they have a 24/7 study lounge, and the location is great. One thing that would make Tropicana even better is including laundry in the rent.

    Tropicana has a great staff that is very committed to creating a positive experience for students. I lived here my senior year at UCSB and loved it! There are lots of fun events to get to know new people within the community and I really liked living in an environment with other students who were also focused on their academics.

  • Good food + Spacious rooms + Amazing staff

    February 16, 2025
    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.
