<p>Ok, I just called Admissions and found out more about AP scores and the unit cap.
They said that AP units can only help you, not hurt you, and that although you can get credit for them, the do not count towards your unit cap (which is great because that means I get a little more breathing room).</p>
<p>I also found this (btw, for anyone considering UC Davis, Davis Wiki is incredibly useful):
[225</a> Unit Limit - Davis Wiki](<a href=“http://daviswiki.org/225_Unit_Limit]225”>http://daviswiki.org/225_Unit_Limit)
According to that, a hold can be placed on your account once you hit 200 units, even though you haven’t hit the cap yet.</p>

I got married the summer before I transferred, so my housing situation is a little different from other transfer students. I live in an apartment in Central Davis and just bike to school, which takes 10-15 depending if I’m rushing or not. I know some transfers who opted to do student housing and they all seem happy with it. There are pros and cons to each, but personally, I like having my own space, and I’ve met plenty off people on my own, so it’s not like student housing is necessary.</p>
<p>As for financial aid, I’m poor, so FA covers all my tuition fees and some other stuff. I also sent all my forms pretty early, so my awards were update/approved during the first wave, which made it much easier to see if I needed to send anything else in. I do have some friends who are in the middle bracket of too poor to pay for college, but too rich to qualify for FA, and they both are taking on student loans which is going to suck after they graduate.</p>
