After a housing tour, I got into a nice chat with a housing director not just about housing, & also about ireland, politics, sports, and how the feeling of community at Davis is really strong here


Appearance of Campus:
Its nice and pastoral. The artwork at UC Davis is nice. The fact that its flat (Central Valley) keeps it from being execptional. Construction is underway, but when it is done, it will be done well.

Campus Visit Notes for University of California, Davis


Visit Description:

The Tour was great, and the tour guide was enthusiatic about her time at the University. The students get a good workout, biking all arround campus. Davis is a college town and there are lots of nice apartments and homes to move to after your fist year on campus. Intermural sports are really big at Davis, as are the clubs that you can join. I really liked the Outdoor Adventures program that I mentioned above.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:
