Classes such as Gen Chem, Math series, and other Science classes tend to be big. But that’s what you should be expecting for all UC’s and public schools. It’s really not that big of a deal as long as you go to class and talk to the TAs. In college, the grade you get really reflects how much work you put in.

Dorms here are really nice. This year, Segundo Highrises (Bixby, Ryerson, Malcolm, and Gilmore) are all doubles with some floors being all girls/ themed. The double rooms are very nice. Spacious and you can have your privacy & it’s very sociable. There are other segundo buildings like the newly built houses Alder, Thompson, and I forget the other one… but their themed. Majority of tercero (the housing we got for orientation last year) are all triples except a few themed houses. Primero Grove opened up to freshmens this year and it comes with it’s own kitchen like an apartment but there are rooms with just 2 kids, 4 kids, and 6 kids. Cuarto is off campus a 5minute walking distance from segundo, really really close. And it’s suite style.

You really need to come to Davis and experience it yourself. See the rooms and check out the atmosphere. I know kids who hated Davis and they only came here cause it was their only choice, but ended up loving it few months later. Davis grows on you and it’s not THAT boring like some say. Frat row is only a street across from segundo and theres parties every week, farmers market twice a week, downtown is full of nice restaurants, and if anything theres clubs like ski and snowboarding that takes you snowboarding weekly.

Decision day is April 6th i believe. Come check it and feel the vibe. It’s really different from reading comments of people’s reviews.
