This is not a commuter school so there is a stronger sense of community. It is heavily research-oriented

Davis is a pretty small, college town, and the school is really the center of activity. This also means that there are a lot of student oriented activities, events, restaurants, bars in town, which makes for a really fun, young atmosphere.--the school doesn't get lost in the city!
Megan

How I chose the school I did was by visiting them. I immediately felt at home at UC Davis. If you look lost, people will stop and ask you if you need help. It is a beautiful campus and extremely environmentally active. It is a small community and you feel as if you really are part of the community here. I also love that it has seasons in Davis. It is cold during the winter and hot during the summer. Most people say they discover allergies they never had when they come here, but mine actually went away.

Davis is a very great school to attend. It has a excellent reputation, is not too crowded, ethnically diverse, and is very environmentally responsible. Most students ride their bikes around campus and the public transportation runs on natural gas or electricity, making it very easy of a student to be environmentally responsible. Also, we just became a division 1 school which has sparked more school spirit than the years before. Davis has a large campus and is home to many different animals due to the vet school. Being close to Sacramento it is relatively easy to get an internship.

I pray that you get a fun roommate or someone matching your lifestyle because you will be abl to tell within the first few weeks if it's going to work or not. DON'T BECOME AN ALCHY! YOU'RE STILL AT DAVIS FOR SCHOOL, YOU KNOW! hahaha STUDY STUDY STUDY! IF you like being there, you will do well.
PS: Come to Davis!

The best thing to do is to conduct an on campus observation utilizing researchers to actively probe the campus life and all its aspects, only then will you be able to get a relatively good idea on the trends and fashions of the campus.

It's a place where you need to make an effort to be known. If you want friends, go find some. With 30, 000 people, it's not that hard to find someone cool. But it's in your hands. Unlike a small community, you need to take the initiative to plug in and find yourself a family.

My experiences, though, were great and going to Davis probably the best decision of my life.
Kyle
I love UC Davis damnit
Steph
I love UC Davis! It's a really fun campus, and I feel very comfortable on it. I've enjoyed spending time with all the friends that I've met and enjoy the fact that it is so close to home.

Davis is amazing...now if only the cafeteria (DC) would serve better food it would be that much better! ;)
