I've only been here for one quarter, but it has been amazing. The professors give you the lectures, and they know their stuff. They are all willing to explain a topic if you as in class, even if it was from the past lecture. They try to make sure everyone understands. All of my professors were really cool, and they are really willing to help you out. The Graduate students are the TAs, and they've been through what we went through, so they understand; and they really are helpful.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I am from Southern California, and we all know it's never cold. So it was really nice to get some wintery cold for once. There's open spaces so you can go study if you need to get out of your dorm. If you need a study break you can always go to the Arboretum and go watch the ducks and the otters, or go Downtown and see the neat little stores, or if you really want to get out, take the bus to Sacramento! The public transportation is extremely reliable so you don't really need a car. There's movie theaters and we also have free movie screenings in Chem 194, a lecture hall on campus. How cool is that? Here, you'll meet people from around the state, the country, and even the world!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Despite our fee increase, it's really worth it. Not only do you get top-rate professors, you also get a gym, recreation, and useful resources for studying, as well as tutoring and even free printing! You definitely get what you pay for, and even more.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Davis is not really as agrarian as most people think it is, so really consider coming to check it out before you apply. You just might find that you fall in love with the place and decide to come here
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Some of you urban dwellers might want to try small-town living. This is a place for those that don't mind having to ride the bus. Also, you'll find your place somewhere, there's always something happening from movies, to sports, to even just walking around the town.
