Not sure why previous posters think Davis is in the middle of nowhere and UC Merced and UC Riverside are just bad.

Keep in mind that all of the UCs capture well-educated faculty. And all UCs are still considered some of the best schools nationwide.

Davis is a gorgeous college town, and close to Sacramento and the Bay Area. There is a med and vet school so it has a huge infrastructure.

UC Riverside is rising in the ranks very quickly. They will be opening a med school soon and their sciences are great. It is considered one of the most diverse campuses overall, which is a good thing.

UC Merced is still new. If you want to UC education with a private school atmosphere, it would be a good school.

All this goes without saying that UCB and UCLA are still the top UC schools.
