University of California-Davis Top Questions

The worst thing about UC Davis is the classroom size. Many of the lecture halls hold upwards of +300 students and very few people can actually learn successfully in that environment.

Probably the worst thing about Davis is the fact that it is a college town, and it is secluded from everything and everyone else. Although it is often seen as a good thing, and it is, Davis can become a little bubble with not much to offer students on their free time.

Attending any university can be challenging, but one obstacle that stands out the most to me is having to pay so much for tuition just so I can be able to succeed in life and further my education.

The worst thing about UC Davis would definitely have to be the wafts of mysterious odor from the cow fields that plague the school every afternoon. It is my understanding that they are moving the cow fields away from student housing, so this should not be a problem in the future.

The worst thing about Davis is that it is far from where I live and I have been homesick this last years.

Worst thing about Davis is the bike thieves who come up during the academic breaks and clip bike locks around the apartment complexes.

This fall will be my first quarter so I would't know yet.

The worst thing about my school is that the campus is giant. At first, students may get lost since the campus is so spread out.

Due to large class sizes, my school can seem very unorganized at times. My classes have anywhere from 150-500 students, so having all professors (there is usually more than one per class) and Teacher's Assistants all on the same page can be difficult. As a result, students are often confused about their required tasks/what is expected of them on assignments/midterms, and often do poorly because of this.

It is a smaller college town, so you have to put in a little bit of extra effort to find fun things to do around Davis.
