but seriously -- good luck creating a successsful small business in santa barbara. for one, it's an affluent and well populated area so it's going to be harder to compete in general. there's obviously more opportunity because of the money flowing in that area, but there's people smarter and more experienced than you trying to do the same things you are thinking about.
a gym is a good idea but i am positive there are a few gyms in that area and i don't think that's a good business to just jump into, especially in a place like SB.
an idea that i always thought would work at any college is this: a quick/casual place that serves breakfast all day. make sure there is free wi-fi, quick service, greasy-ish food with a few seemingly healthy options for the girls, delivery optional. i am positive that place would work at the school i went to.
good luck and if you do that, send me a t-shirt or something.

edit: quick/casual would be like a panera/cosi type place -- no waiters, but nicer than fast food. average meal might be 6-10 bucks. breakfast food is also really cheap to make.
