The I.V. party scene is really no different than most other big college towns. The bulk of the partying is relegated to a few streets near the beach on the weekends (and of course Halloween). I've been to many schools that were far worse. Most of the party related problems are caused by non-UCSB students who flock to I.V. on the weekends desparately trying to be part of the fun. Kids frequently drive in from SF or LA just to party, try to get laid or start fights.
UCSB is a great school and is definitely not filled with just rich kids or partiers. As a state subsidized UC school, it's quite affordable compared to private colleges. The relative cost also makes entry very competitive. I did know a few people who partied too much and found themselves quickly in community college. The quarter system can be brutal.
