Davis students are lucky to have such a diverse campus. There are many interest groups run by students and staff, making it easy to get involved with other students of similar interests. There are organizations for different majors (Chemistry Club, Society of Women Engineers, Psychology Honor Society, seele: the literary magazine), ethnicities (Third World Forum, La Raza Cultural Days, AIR, ImaginAsian, Black Family), political affiliations (Davis Republicans, Democratic Party, Liberty’s Flame), interests (SEED, SCTA, Outdoor Adventures), and just about everything else.
Overall, students recognize campus diversity and applaud the liberal community. Students hardly feel threatened by racism, sexism, or prejudice, and credit it to the open-minded student body. Despite the fact that Davis has a reputation of being a bunch of hippie, tree-hugging bikers, the campus is actually pretty diverse. If variety is the spice of life, UCD is always looking for new flavors.

There Is Diversity, but I Feel Like a Minority.
UC Davis does have a lot of diversity. You can pretty much find any race and ethnicity here. There is all sorts of people who are all into different activities. I just do not feel comfortable because I feel like a minority. Being hispanic, I do not know a lot of hispanics in Davis.

Diversity is what you make of it
While the campus may not be the most diverse (predominately Asian and white) and a few hate crimes have occurred here, there are lots of opportunities - through clubs and events - to immerse yourself in diversity and enrich your cultural experience.
