I love Uc Davis so much! My experience has been excellent and I’ve managed to strive in a brand new environment. I am staying in the dorms (Malcolm Hall) which has been fun, but floor 4 is nightmare. Shout out to our RA for having so much patience. There are always so many activities that residents can participate in. The professors are kind and want you to succeed especially Prof. SZE. She is so helpful and her lectures are very interesting. In regards to Greek life which I’m sure many are curious about, I know nothing about that mess. I do wish there was better advertisement for the activities that go down on campus, other than that no issues. Contrary to popular belief, the campus DOES NOT smell like cow feces, unless you’re near tercero, but it is bearable. There are things to do here in Davis from food, entertainment, to cute gift shops. We have the best bike lanes and our arboretum is beautiful.
Good afternoon! UC Davis, what a beautiful campus. This school thrives in flora, fauna, and bicycles! The landscape is calming, the buildings are homely, and the classrooms feel splendid. Moreover, the staff is filled with courteous people, from the professors to the custodial staff to the food workers. Even during the virtual year I felt comfortable in this community. Davis strongly encourages health and safety and implemented a very efficient COVID-19 testing program. What a difference it makes to learn in a place that cares! My only negative about UCD is the lack of availability for therapy or advising. It was extremely difficult to get the personal help I needed from the school in a timely fashion. However, I would visit the cow pen, and that would ease my spirits in a fulfilling way.
Before the Pandemic, I felt like UC Davis was a very nice and safe place to go to school. The people of UC Davis are very nice as well as friendly and people are willing to go the extra mile to help out others in need. Students and Faculty alike are encouraged to collaborate and cooperate with each other and solve problems together unlike the many other colleges that reward competition which is very enjoyable. Additionally, UC Davis is known as the "Bike College" as the people on campus mainly use the bike as the primary mode of transportation. I personally love this aspect as I get my exercise while on my way to classes. In terms of classes, I really enjoy my current classes and path to my degree. Particularly, the professors of these classes are genuinely enthused and put the effort into their classes and it makes the classes much more interesting. Overall I love my college and I cannot wait to return to UC Davis this upcoming school year!
