Why study languages at UCSB?

Students in French and Italian find small classes, personalized attention, and genuine connection with people. Our classes are filled learning, and they are also a lot of fun. Students in our courses might begin the quarter not knowing one another but they end the quarter as lifelong friends. Let our students and alumni tell you in their own words how studying languages enriched their college experiences and their lives overall.
