I am so excited for you and your daughter! The community of Davis is so student-centric and the possibilities @ UCD are endless. Everything from studying abroad to ushering at UCD Presents/theatre/concert events to caring for one’s bicycle at the bike barn, working at the cytogenetic lab, being a reader for the mathematics department, doing research with chemistry grad students and profs, skiing Tahoe… the list goes on and on… I even met my wife there lol! But to answer your question, both my son and daughter are in different colleges but they run in the same social circles so they probably would see each other on weekends/retreats if not during the week. I’m actually writing this in La Jolla. Just came down from Seattle/UW. Met up with my daughter and she graciously took us around campus. Both son and daughter didn’t miss a beat and enjoyed their time together immensely. I believe my son will be committing to UCSD after today’s visit. He received a warm welcome from everyone he interacted with (daughter’s friends/roommates) and despite the physical size of UCSD, it felt smaller because my daughter couldn’t go more than 10 minutes without running into someone she knew. After leaving campus for the day, we (sans daughter) spent time on the beach watching the sun go down and all the surfers come back in. I believe my son may have found the school that best suits him. He just needed reassurance. His mom and dad are elated. Go Tritons! Go Aggies!
