Study abroad in California: The USCB records the highest number of student allocation ever in the winter quarter 

Most of the time, international students usually don’t prefer taking enrolment in international colleges during winter. This is why many universities witness a decline in enrolment during the winter season, which is the start of the academic year. USCB stated that the enrolment has decreased by 6%. 

The recent record number of student allocation has been followed by the allegations of over-enrolment, which are made both by the City of Goleta as well as Santa Barbara County. They are also implementing litigation against the university.
