University of California-Davis Top Questions

Self-driven, highly motivated

People who are constantly worrying about grades, internship, and community service. Having all those stuff is great but this school is more for finding the right job, the right place, and the right friends.

Someone who desires city life and needs things to be fast-paced and urban.

the type of person that should attend to this school is a person that will focus only in their studies and not play around or have fun. If a person doesn't stay on top of it they will not pass class

A person who does not like diversity, who doesn't like a small town, who does not like to study, who is not outgoing, who doesn't like to socialize, who hates a variety of restaurants. A person not into school, not intelligent, not humorous, not active.

Someone who wants to be in small classes and get lots of one-on-one attention from professors should not attend UCD. Also, someone who wants to live in a city setting should not attend UCD, becuase Davis really is a "college-town."

A person that needs a lot of guidance and a close knit nurturing community to be successful.

A person who is focused on the arts, or has issues with livestock (especially cows), should probably look elsewhere.. Our focus is on the sciences - the art program is small and therefore personal, but there are better places for someone with non-scientific inerests.

Don't attend this school if you're craving the hustle and bustle of city life. I came from San Francisco so everything was hectic and interesting. There's absolutely none of that in Davis. There are a few shopping places but it's nothing popular. You have to go to Sacremento or something to get to a decent place to hang out if you're looking for something exciting. If you're driving to campus, it's very expensive to park there too. And you need a car if you want to do something on the weekends.

Intolerant, unfocused people would not contribute to the school
