Davis is a quaint, vibrant and welcoming community. I want to emphasize the word "community" because there is a shared ethic amongst all people here to treat each other with kindness and respect that I have not seen in other towns. Davis offers its students an array of activities in its bustling downtown. Additionally, the university offers an abundance of opportunities for students to be involved with recreational activities of their interest. The school also helps provide students with internship and job opportunities. The campus and town are extremely bike-friendly, so much so that there are more bikes than people in the city of Davis! Most key locations are located within a short bike ride of each other so you will not need to worry if you do not own a car. It also affords us the opportunity to lower our carbon footprint! Overall, I would highly recommend living in Davis to those individuals who are willing to be part of and foster a loving community.
I visit my Grandma often in Davis. We go all around Davis, and I feel like that even that I don’t live here, I am familiar with Davis enough to be reviewing it. I can even review the night-life, because I have stayed at my Grandma’s overnight. I think Davis is a wonderful little town where you can bike everywhere, you will send your kids to a school filled with kind teachers, a university that has a good animal school, a good farming school, and a good wining school right down the road, a few miles at the most. Davis does a great job protecting the eco. Davis also fills kids’ summers with fun. They provide fun summer camps for kids of all ages, and they dim the lights at night so you can just see where you are going, but you can see the stars. But the houses are definitely not cheap, they cost just as much as Sacramento! We wanted to move to Davis, but it’s too expensive.
Learn a lot. Protect the eco. Find yourself in a reality you’ve never lived in. That’s Davis!

I like that Davis is bike-friendly, but it is not pedestrian friendly (unless you live in downtown Davis). If you do not own a car, you might have to walk at least a mile or two to get groceries and other basic necessities.
It would be beneficial if shops remained open until midnight since there are plenty of students who work hard on their assignments and prepare for exams every night, and it is disappointing to see that most of the shops are closed after evening, and so students have to resort to getting unhealthy snacks from gas stations.
The highlight of the town is the university, and while UC Davis is a good school, it needs to reform its rigorous quarter system and other aspects, such as how its class registration system is all over the place.
The best part about Davis is its low crime rate and even lower homelessness. Since half of the population is comprised of students, the neighborhood watch quickly reports any sort of suspicious activity.
