There is so much variety as to what exactly you can study here. From wine-making to nursing. From horse husbandry to tractor driving. From medicine and chemistry to animal science and exercise biology, there are no limits as to what classes and subjects you can take. This is definitely a college to broaden interests and explore opportunities.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
UC Davis is a very active and fun college that is a major influential factor to the city of Davis that surrounds it. Davis, the city itself, is a very quaint and comfortable place to live with a downtown area, filled with coffee shops, restaurants, bookstores, and farmer's markets. Though it is rumored that there is not very much to do in Davis, I beg to differ! There is lots to do, most requires little or no money at all! The city is safe and enjoyable while the school provides lots of services to current students for a comfortable stay and the people are very friendly.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
UC Davis students enjoy many free services like yearly memberships to the ARC, a huge gym on campus, free service for the Uni Trans and YoloBus, bus services that run around and through Davis, access to the Student Health and Wellness Center, access to the Davis Library, and, if credited pre-purchased swipes, access to Dining Commons in the dorms across campus. I find that my money put into paying for education here is well used and is brought back to me in forms that I can utilize.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
- Research about Davis beforehand: It's culture, it's history, etc. to see if it it the right choice for you.
- Fill out the FAFSA forms EARLY to determine what Financial Aid you are qualified for.
- Get involved with activities, clubs, and sports.
- Do not be afraid to say hello! College is a new experience for everyone, and there are people who are just as nervous as you may be!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
- Student who are the studious type, but like to have a little fun once in a while!
- Students who don't mind the rain
- Students looking for a calm, small town
- Students who enjoy nature and are not looking for a bustling city
- Students who plan on focusing on their studies thoroughly
- Students who are looking for a fun-filled, thorough college education
