University of California-Davis Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of California-Davis accurate?

Abby

On some nights there really isn't anything to do here. Other nights are amazing. You just have to know where to go. There's more city than fields and nothingness.

Laura

To some degree they are - this IS an ag school, but most of the people I know aren't involved in an ag-related major, and there's not a huge ag presence if you don't want to be involved in it. The farmer's market is a big event, and there are plenty of students on campus involved in activities that involve environmental awareness, etc, but there's also a big Greek scene, lots of other activities on campus, sports, social stuff downtown, etc, so that is in no way the only thing that people here are involved in.

Only a little

Jody

Not so much...

Alex

Some of the stereotypes are accurate to a degree just like most stereotypes. Each label has a tid bit of truth to it.

I don't agree with that statement because Davis is 20 minutes from Sacramento and an hour away from San Francisco.

Molly

No, I have never been cow tipping and I do not want to be a veterinarian.

the people are definately laid back and friendly and fun, and davis can be boring, but not really. I have a lot of fun with my friends, just like i would anywhere i was. Plus, there isnt a lot to do in Davis, but there is a lot of stuff to do in Sacramento, and other really near by cities. I like that there isnt a ton of attractions in the town of davis, becuase not that many people come here, so its like our own place, never too crowded.

Andy

Nope

Julie

No, the city of Davis is adorable, and the people are really nice and down to earth. Sometimes in the summer, you can smell the cows, but most of the year, it smells completely normal.
