There is just enough to do at Davis to keep you busy and it feels very relaxed and safe. The are so many different people and things to do at Davis from outdoor to indoor activities. We have the best transportation services around for students and the rate is flat and included in our tuition!

One thing I am most proud of about my school is that it is exceptionally diverse. There are people from all different backgrounds, races, economic standings, etc. This creates a culture of mutual respect and acceptance among the students. There are students who are studying at UC Davis as international students and many American students who are studying all over the world. This is helpful in providing a safe community on campus and embracing diversity as a value in each student and faculty member. It is inspiring to see such cooperation within a campus that has so much diversity.

Basically, the thing that I brag about the most when I tell people about my school is that it is not so easy to get into because it is a good university and that if you work hard in high school, it pays off in college.

The people at Davis are really great. I broke my ankle a month after I moved in, and I needed a lot of help. I learned the Student Disability Service and the Escort Service were very helpful, but beyond that people often opened doors for me, or gave up their seat on the bus for me. So not only do you get the high academic atmosphere, you get friendly people who make the campus enjoyable. I have heard about and witnessed other high-academic classes that have a very uptight, almost cold atmosphere, but that is not the case here.

According to US News, UC Davis is a top-50 university in the country. I am very proud that I got into UC Davis and I'm pretty sure 9/10 students feel the same way. Everyone is really proud of Davis' accomplishments and know that it's a school for kids that worked hard in high school to get where they are today. I, also, think that Davis is the right combination of social and academic life. However, it's easy for academics to get in the way of your socia life.
