College Prowler Take

When asked to describe the girls and guys on campus, it’s interesting to note that the majority of Davis students respond with appreciative comments based on personality. Though many are quick to point out the merits of bike riding and free gym access, they also clarify that the personalities and attitudes of the students far outshine the physical appearances. Many  admit that the people could be slightly better looking, but no one seems unsatisfied with what the campus has to offer.

Still, with California weather and an inherently active lifestyle, Davis students are pretty good-looking. Students are open-minded and friendly, and with a large student body, you’re bound to find someone who interests you.

The sorority girls are usually pretty hot in the beginning of the year until they get their beer bellies, and then they all start looking alike, talking alike, acting alike, and they all major in communications.

The smartest thing I ever did was...

The smartest thing I ever did was take a dance class with my roommate. Sure, it wasn’t quite our thing, and we looked ridiculous, but we got over that. We were the only guys there, surrounded by beautiful women all wearing leotards. It made all the tedium worth it. The girls totally called us on it, though; they knew we were just in there to check them out, but they were really cool, and some of them even let me take them out.

Most of the girls here are white or Asian, and the girls here are in pretty good shape—they like go to the ARC a lot to work out. It's really easy to make some good friends at Davis. I will say an average girls here is a "B." Most of the cute freshman girls live in Segundo on main campus, all the crazy girls live in Cuarto, which is really close to the frat houses, and the nerdy girls are in Trecero, which is close to the science/engineering buildings.

Girls are really nice at Davis....

Girls are really nice at Davis. They are pretty and and have really good personalities. If you are a relationship type of person, Davis is the perfect place. If you want to hook up with someone, I think frat parties (Cuarto area) and dorm parties are the best places to hook up and meet new people. You will see the same girls at different parties, though, and that's kinda frustrating.

Facts

Birth Control Available?

Yes - Look for the Love Lab—a mobile cart stocked with free safer-sex products that appears at different locations around campus (usually the ARC). You can get free lubricant, dental dams, female condoms, and a variety of male condoms at the Love Lab, along with educational materials and product demonstrations. There is a limit of 10 items per week.

Social Scene

Davis is known for its friendly, laid-back campus. The fraternities and sororities tend to have their own social agendas, but there really is no social hierarchy. Students have no reservation in mixing with crowds of different majors, ethnicities, or social circles. Davis is relatively "clique free," and most people are always eager to make new friends.

Hookups or Relationships?

In the beginning of school, it's not uncommon to see all the freshmen randomly hooking up in an insane dating mob, but that begins to die quickly once the excitement of being on your own isn't so new anymore. After a while, students meet people in their classes, at parties, on sports teams, interest groups, at work, or through other friends. They meet new people every day. Davis is known for its friendly campus, and all it takes to meet someone is a simple glance up from studying, eye contact, and a smile.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Being the academic institution that it is, Davis keeps students pretty busy with finals every 10 weeks. That said, they still find plenty of time to socialize, and it's not uncommon for students to hook up with someone they meet in class, a study group, or at the library. However, those students who want more of a distinction between their academic and romantic lives won't be too hard-pressed—there are plenty of weekend parties that draw crowds of singles.

Dress Code

With a laid-back atmosphere, there really is no dress code. Students dress according to the weather rather than according to the trends, and they seem to prefer clothes that are easy to bike in. On campus, students can be seen in everything from flip-flops to stilettos to cowboy boots, or whatever else they happen to throw on in the morning. Overall, it's a pretty casual campus. Jeans and T-shirts are more common sights than polo shirts and slacks. But with Davis's diversity, it's not uncommon to see leather jackets, suspenders, Caesar-style sandals, and long flowing skirts—all in the same outfit.
