The Orchid House of Sana Barbara is a small residence just a few steps away from Santa Barbara City College.
Besides being very close to school and classes, our small size makes it possible to get to know all the 24 students
who live here. There are meals and fun to share. The common areas like living, dining and media room are
perfect for group activities or study groups. For example, we offer cooking or baking classes, for Halloween we
carved pumpkins, we had a Christmas party, were we learned to make a traditional Swedish Christmas bread.
And there is always a resident advisor, that you can talk to and that will help. A diverse group of students’
studies at Santa Barbara City College and our little community has students from all over the United States and
some international students.
