Its in a small town, so everything is very conveniently located and easy to access. About 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the population in Davis is students. It is located next to Sacramento and very short drive from Lake Tahoe. It is very easy to get involved and have fun at Davis.

How closely-knit and friendly the campus community is. UC Davis is the kind of place if you were to spill coffee, other students would rush to get paper towels for you. The school also places a high emphasis on students giving back to the community and being enviromentally and socially conscious . Not only was it simply a hard research university, in addition to our academic education, we learned how to be civically responsible. I felt like there was a strong emphasis on learning to be a good citizen- which contributed to our amiable campus environment.

the school itself is wonderful, but one has to try hard and hard to do well in this school. Also, there is not much things to do during weekends.

Some of our classes is 1st in the world like winery and animal medicine. And it's a great place to live since it's quiet and just the right size. The people around here are super friendly.

The bar scene in Davis is a lot of fun; there is a huge variety of places that you can go to depending on your interests.

When I talk about Davis, I brag about the eco-friendly atmosphere and the nature-oriented campus. I think Davis is special because it really prides itself on its wildlife and the preservation of natural life on campus and close by. I would also advertise that Davis is cleaner than your average campus and we have the second greatest bike population on the planet, only behind a city in China!

I brag about how NOT cutthroat the competition is. I chose UC Davis over UCLA. And I feel that it's the best decision I could have ever made. It's not very difficult to balance a good social life with excellent grades. And your friends are genuinely happy for you if you do well on exam(even if they failed it). Nobody is ridiculed for struggling with classes, and instead, we all work together to help each other pass.

The research opportunites and the school's strength in the sciences.

The campus itself is awesome. It's nice and spacious with trees and grass all around. It's very peaceful and slow paced. It makes one just relax and destress.

the marching band is awesome, and there is a lot of pushing to find out what you want to do in life
