Big Picture

UCD is the ultimate school for a passionate student. The student run aggie pack is top ranked in the nation for providing school spirit. The school has a spirit of their own as well. It's a laid back town with huge ambitions. Student play Frisbee and party on the weekends but hit the books on the weekdays. The fun never stops on Greek row and spring quarter provides the perfect party months. Classes are intense though. UCD is all about the students, from the town to the classes, Davis is the epitome of what everyones college experience should be like. You come out of here with friends, and great memories, and with a degree that means something.

Academic Life

Davis students know how to have fun, but no matter what they are still students at heart. Davis offers challenging classes in all fields but with an emphasis in anything regarding science. Some of the unique classes include tractor driving and human sexuality, (hey we're an aggie school and still a bunch of 20ish year olds looking to have fun). Like I said the people here are students at heart and care about their interests. At parties people are proud to show off their acid burns from the internships and have in depth conversations about what they learned in physics last week and how it applies to a beerbong. Academics are rigorous and difficult but they're nothing a Davis student can't handle.

Student Body

The student body here is unique. We ride bikes, play frisbee, take IM's seriously, and know how to enjoy a sunny day. Everyone is laid back and super chill, it is one of the most accepting campuses I have ever seen and everyone gets along with everyone! It's ridiculous how universal this school is.

The Best Things

The atmosphere! It's all about the students here.

The Worst Things

It doesn't have a mall, unless you drive to Sacramento. Which is not that bad, c'mon, who can afford the mall as a college student anyway
