University of California, Davis has so much to offer to students of very versatile majors and career goals. Davis offers learning in every aspect of life, from the class room to curricular activities and in the job circuit. Davis dwells on distributing knowledge to those who are willing and want to learn. The classes can be tedious but the amount of knowledge attained is priceless. Davis wants to present only the best to the students and if an individual wants to take the opportunity they can soar with the knowledge acquired. The class rooms are friendly and a place where knowledge only continues to expand. If a student wants to gain more understanding of a subject the professors are very open to students request of one on one meetings. Not only are the class rooms a place of learning but the entire community of davis offers vast amounts of learning. I've had the experience to be apart of the Student Housing under training as an Resident Advisor. I only see how much Davis wants us to learn to the best of our ability. Through this program training is offered because they want to present to new residents the best Davis has to offer in a sense of resources. Being apart of Davis is a privilege because of the never ending learning of life which Davis continues to give me.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I have loved Davis from the moment I took my first step on to the campus, which was durning my Junior year in High School. The saying goes The experience is what you make it which is entirely true as I have found while attending Davis. I went in with a willingness to learn and an open mind wanting to be involved in the community. I have involved myself in numerous ways through being involved with my floor which I lived on, being apart of the Equestrian Center, The Equestrian Team and through RA training. I have met so many people in the community that it continues to amaze me. The people are all really friendly it is not hard at all to meet people, they are willing to help and genuinely care for other people. The more I continue to get involved with the campus the more I learn and network. It brings me joy everyday to wake up in the morning and see what new experience I will gain. Overall Davis is a very safe place too, I have no worries to walk the campus at late times of the night and if there is a worry there are resources such as escort service which helps to safely get from point A to B. Davis is safe and will bring a satisfying enjoyment to students who attend this is all important to consider in the pursuit of learning.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Davis may be an expensive school but it is only because there is so much to offer, by attending Davis you are receiving the best that Davis has to offer. There are ways to make the school cheaper by getting on-campus jobs, scholarships or applying for positions such as RA, Barn Supervisors, and other positions. The education will be worth what you will be paying, education and knowledge is priceless it is something that will follow you throughout your life but money is a material item which will come and go. The experience will be unforgettable and if money is a problem Davis is able to work something out wether it be in student loans or work-study jobs. The experience is worth every penny, this experience is one which I don't regret paying and working for. If I spent my money on insignificant material items I would only have regrets. This is one life, one education and I don't regret my choice to attend UC Davis.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
As a student who attends Davis my advice would be to stay on top of grades. During the first year of college stay as focused on classes as possible. It may be hard due to transitions from home, new friends, new faces and room mates but when all else fails you rely on your class work to get you through the hard times. Hard work pays off at Davis if you give something your all then you will see results. Make sure to go to the professors office hours, if you are having troubles they may be willing to work things out also it helps for future references. Going to office hours causes professors to appreciate the students willingness to learn more and it shows you are dedicated to the class. Another tip is once you are on top of grades try to get involved in the community of Davis in some way. It helps networking, its good to have an outlet for stress and it will look good on future resumes. Classes are important but so is your personal happiness do something that keeps you involved and happy.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
It is wonderful for Pre- Vet students, and in general any kind of students, I have met so many various people that attend UC Davis it is not restricted to one type of student.
