UCSB’s First Endeavor into University-owned Apartment Rentals for Staff
The first UCSB staff occupants of the Sierra Madre Apartments have started moving in! The beautiful facility boasts 35 large 2- and 3-bedroom apartments with stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, AND a full size washer/dryer for each unit. Located adjacent to 650 acres of coastal habitats and walking trails, the setting is as beautiful as the apartments themselves.

Tips to Prepare for El Nino
72 degrees and sunny has been the weather lately, but we’re still hoping for more rain. NOAA and forecasters are still predicting a rainy March. Good news for the drought, but also be prepared for flooding, and emergency conditions due to excess rain and high winds – even if it seems to be sunny all the time.
The map below shows weather predictions for January-March this year. It still shows our area with a 33% increase in precipitation.
