NYU vs. Davis.
Climate:
Davis,You can be outdoors most days although you will run into rain and some 40degree weather during the winter. Snow would be exotic and shortlived if it ever fell there. A water and wind proof jacket over a sweater will get you through the worst of it.

NYU, It will snow during the winter (late October into April) You will need a winter parker for half of the school year.

Town, city
Davis is a middle sized American town and is recognized as one of the best places to live with a bicycle. The campus is adjacent to the town so it is a short bike ride or walk into their shops and resturants. There are a couple of movie theaters in town. There are free buses to take you around town if you are carrying packages. No big stores, but many smaller nice ones. Davis is a friendly college town. Flat and easily understood. There are buses and trains into San Francisco and a bus to the Berkeley Campus ( just outside of San Francisco).

NYU is located in a busy City with all of the fast pace, extensive shopping opportunities that you would expect. NYU is just inside the door way from the streets of New York. City sounds, sites, opportunities and challenges. There are unlimited eating, entertainment and cultural activities.

Disadvantages of Davis: UC colleges have become more crowded and it can be difficult for some students to get enrolled into their first choice classes. This is a function of majors and a number of other factors that I would not feel competent comparing with NYU.

If you have a preference for pace of life, Davis is slower, NYC is most likely much faster.
