UC Davis has a lot of interesting classes to choose from. As a Psychology major, I was interested in this particular subject the moment I started going to school here. There is a wide variety of Psychology classes if that is what you are interested. There also a lot of fun classes to take such as beer brewing, and wine making. The fun classes at Davis are really packed, so its tough to get in it at times. There are a lot of extracurricular activities to do here, such as joining a martial arts club, dragon boat, ski or snowboard, and the gamut runs on. There are lots of people of different cultures and ethnicities, so one can immerse in the diversity of the campus.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Davis is a small town. UC Davis, however is a big campus. It is very peaceful here because everyone is easy going, and the atmosphere is very nice. Although the temperature is a bit hard to get accustomed to. During the summer it is very, very hot. During the winter it gets very, very cold. So if you're coming to Davis, remember to get the appropriate clothing, otherwise you'll either burn or freeze.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This gets a lower rating because of all the budget cuts and tuition raising. But other than that, this college is a great place to go to school because of the diverse cultures, myriads of different clubs, a lot of interesting classes to choose from, and the friendly people that go here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Always be friendly. Everyone is intimidated by other people, they might just be as intimidated as you are. When you sit next to people in class, introduce yourself, say hi, start to chat it up before class. Making friends in class helps you in that class, because you'll be able to help each other out during midterm weeks. Staying fit is also important. There is the ARC, which I think is one of the best perks of being a UCD student. Go there, work out, play some sports. You're paying for it in your tuition anyways. Might as well make the best of it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Go to the ARC and exercise. Join some clubs to meet new people and make friends.
