Do you enjoy UC DAVIS?

@PhantomVirgo is right, you really have to make your own fun because the campus is huge!

My dd loves Davis! Neither she nor my son liked the Irvine feel, it was too “commuter” and the campus lacked warmth (and biking the area would be hard). Visit Davis and you’ll see the activities posted everywhere and everything is open late in the college town. I just held a coffee chat with Davis’ parents on March-14, in our town. Most of the parents were parents of freshman and said that their kids loved the school and campus, and a parent of a male freshman said that his Davis friends were like “getting an instant family”.

There are lots of clubs for everyone and someone is always playing a sport. (If you sit in your room and complain about shoulda, woulda, coulda, then of course you are going to dislike Davis.)

My dd is a junior and, unfortunately for us, we can never catch her on the weekends-that’s why the campus is empty. She’s always somewhere, with a club, on a hike, bike, kayak, skis or on BART. The intramurals for her sport were difficult to go to because she had an inconsistent schedule, so she has a group of friends that go out and workout together. She’s been to Tahoe, Yosemite, Sequoia, 'Frisco, Berkeley, Napa, and has visited friends in Sonoma, etc. She goes to concerts in “Sac” and Berkeley. She is trying to get into the tractor-driving class but doesn’t have enough seniority yet. There is also a very popular beer-making class and learning the history of Beer, and she can’t get into that class yet. She did get into the Fairy tale class which she really liked. Since her major is intense-NPB, she says she needs to “chill” on the weekends by leaving campus with her friends.

The wineries pay for a lot of buildings, so the facilities are very nice.

Go on davis wiki to get more information.
Good luck!
