University of California - Davis
- Local Atmosphere

Green, Cute, College Town

Davis is a small college town. Students make up half of it's population. It has a very outdoorsy, liberal, and agriculturally oriented atmosphere. Most students and some of the community members use bicycles as a prime mode of transportation. The University is located right in the middle of town, which is great for students. Davis also has a great network of greenways and parks, so there is always a nice quiet place to relax. It has a large downtown in proportion to it's size. On weekends, clubs and restaurants downtown are filled with students.

Bike Central

Davis, California is known to be one of the few true college towns, but in addition to that, it is also bike central. In a town that is not very big, but has a large campus, riding a bike is ideal and the easiest. Davis has many bike paths in and outside of campus that makes it easy to avoid car traffic and can also serve as a walkway for runners or people wanting to walk their dogs. Every weekend, rain or shine, there is the Davis Farmers Market, selling fresh and local produce to locals and students. There is also the annual Picnic Day, hosted by the associated student body, which attracts 40,000 people each year. It is essentially a giant fair, with many events and attractions, hosted by clubs and departments on campus. Davis is generally very safe. Usually the "big" crimes are just bike thefts, so there is rarely much to worry about.

Awsome

It is a great school where many students can come and expect a top public school to introduce a vareity of things.
