This is a great school. Just beware of parking. Parking is a huge ripoff for students and visitor only staff gets the good parking spot with a fair price.

I went to football game and Covid precautions were in place. Needed vaccination proof with ID to receive wristbands to show you were screened. Inside stadium had fewer food truck vendors than pre-Covid, but since this was first game where students could attend without charge, it was crowded and festive.

This is the most amazing veterinary hospital ever!!! Welcoming and patient staff. Caring and loving to my bird Boo. Worth the drive and time. Amazing follow up care and concern after the fact. There arent enough kind words to say about this staff and clinic!!

I had heard that the atmosphere was great at UC Davis during football games. It certainly did not disappoint. Our experience was wonderful when we visited for the game against Dixie State.

A beautiful place if it wasnt for all the liberals. The trick is not to engage anyone in intelligent conversation there other than that its beautiful!

The University of California, Davis (UC Davis, UCD, or Davis) is a public research university and land-grant university located near Davis, California.[9] It is one of the ten campuses of the University of California system, and has the third-largest enrollment in the system after UCLA and UC Berkeley.[7] The institution was first founded as an agricultural branch of the system in 1905, and became the seventh campus of the University of California in 1959.The university is classified as an R1 university, meaning that it engages in a very high level of research activity.[10] The UC Davis faculty includes 23 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 30 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 17 members of the American Law Institute, 14 members of the Institute of Medicine, and 14 members of the National Academy of Engineering.[11] Among other honors, university faculty, alumni, and researchers have won two Nobel Prizes, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, three Pulitzer Prizes, three MacArthur Fellowships, and a National Medal of Science.[11][12][13][14]Founded as a primarily agricultural campus, the university has expanded over the past century to include graduate and professional programs in medicine (which includes the UC Davis Medical Center), law, veterinary medicine, education, nursing, and business management, in addition to 90 research programs offered by UC Davis Graduate Studies. The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine is the largest veterinary school in the United States and has been ranked first in the world for five consecutive years (2015–19).[15] UC Davis also offers certificates and courses, including online classes, for adults and non-traditional learners through its Division of Continuing and Professional Education.The UC Davis Aggies athletic teams compete in NCAA Division I, primarily as members of the Big West Conference with additional sports in the Big Sky Conference (football only) and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. In its first year of full Division I status, 11 UC Davis teams qualified for NCAA post-season competitions.

Review №13

Botanical Garden is worthy of repeat visits. The visitor parking information could be more helpful. Apparently free on weekends in certain lots, and a parking app is required to pay on weekdays. Navigating the hourly rate vs all day rate does not seem intuitive. Some directional signage to limited restrooms would also be helpful.

The care is top notch but the organization of staff is not always on top of things. Communication is lacking at times when trying to schedule or coordinate care. Paying attention to details.

Walking the arboridum early in the morning is very beautiful and peaceful. Parking is currently free due to covid. The only concern is everyone walking through the gardens are no longer wearing masks. Why? This included the elderly to young individuals and a photographer.This is very unusual so walkers beware.

If you have the money and you love your pet this is the best place to bring your dog or cat a horse or any animal. No need to look for any specialist for your pet they have them there. Be warned this is not a cheap place. You pay for what you get and you do get good service here. Im one of the lucky ones who live only 20 miles away. Some people drive as far as 200 miles away or farther than that.

To those who are not local, UC Davis is a unknown school. Its a high-quality place, tucked away in a city that is envious of Berkeley. Most parents would be happier to send their kids to Davis than to Berkeley, for safety reasons.

If Im being totally honest, I was a bit dissapointed. I had high expectation when transfering from my community college, my time in Davis gave me an even greater appreciation for Saddleback College. I did enjoy my time here, Davis is a wonderful town, unless you really need that city life. The school feels a bit old and over crowded with a couple stand out new buildings that you might be lucky enough to have one class in. In animal science, its always a struggle to get the classes you want, and theyre usually packed with students. TAs do most of the grading, and while some were amazing and will be remembered for the rest of my life, many were apathetic and I seriously questioned their knowledgeability on subject matter or proper writing techniques. The majority of professors were great teachers and warm people, if you could push through the hoard to make an introduction. If youre too shy, youll be lost in the crowd, choose to stand out. Im still grateful for the time I spent here, UCD set me up to follow my dream, and I learned from some of the best animal scientists. Im looking forward to starting veterinary school this fall.

I just could not get over the feeling that I was the one and only single African American who was surrounded by an endless mass of Asian Americans who was wondering what the heck was a person like me, doing on their campus!? I have met several nice students, but the diversity of people on campus has very little to do with the diversity of the real world.

Currently I am a rising Junior at UC Davis. I am in love with the campus, the people and the community. Having experienced living in an urban city college this summer, my love for UCD has only grown. I am so thankful to be able to learn in a diverse setting with a student community that genuinely is keen on helping one another. The campus is beautiful - take a look at the arboretum. Make the most of your four years at the school and become involved. Theres lots to do if you take the initiative.

I have been only studying the school even tho I am wanting to attend a cool art school in San Francisco so UC divas seems to be a school that is more for people who want to life active and have to have a challenging time to get a teachers attention with a lot of compaction, if you want to get a great year in college, dont go here were there are a lot of challenges and unfairness. Im 15 and already plan on not going here

If youre coming from So Cal just be warned that people and the lifestyle of nor cal is very slow paced and boring. Also given the fact that theres nothing to do in Davis, you may implode. The education is phenomenal and difficult. The food is pretty good. Just make sure its what you really want in a college experience.

I have been here for about 10 years as I was a undergraduate student and then became a graduate student with a one year gap in between. I love the environment here. Very peaceful, though the foods for graduate students can have some improvements.

I received my bachelors degree from UCD and loved the experience there! I learned that you have to step outside your comfort zone in order to succeed and really enjoy your college experience, and I think there were plenty of opportunities to do so in Davis.I also love, love, love the campus! Its full of nature and everyone is cautious of the environment. Always clean and gorgeous.

I earned a Doctorate in Molecular Genetics from the UC Davis and I had the pleasure of working with a World Class faculty in Life Sciences.

The campus is HUGE and has probably gotten bigger since i left! Beautiful campus! Even if you dont go to school there, it is so nice and relaxing (when classes arent in session) that you can treat it like a park sorta. Great place to just ride a bike (again when classes arent in session, coz bike traffic can get crazy!!!)

I imagine the school is pretty good despite the large number cows we saw around campus.This is your typical college town. Everything is designed for students and life in Davis seems to revolve around UC Davis and bicycles.I would avoid Greek life if you enjoy having a high GPA.

Review №94

Perhaps I was attending the nearby special education facility while thinking I was at the UC? Certainly felt like that at more than a few points in my undergrad studies there.Something about the whole atmosphere was off (even if the swastika graffiti and burn the witch adult population are taken out of the equation), and I felt it from day one.I chose to ignore it in favor of what I thought was better judgement -- this was easily one of the ten worst mistakes of my life.
