College Prowler Take
Overall, students seem to really enjoy their time at the University of California at Davis. Students are granted unprecedented opportunities to excel academically alongside expert professors who exhibit genuine interest in sharing their knowledge. With such a friendly campus and competitive academics, many enjoy the dynamic between the bustling, active University and the laid-back college town. Some even get a little fond of the cows after a while!
Despite the frustratingly intense course load, fizzling nightlife, and blazing summers, students usually leave UC Davis feeling glad they came. Studying at Davis is a unique experience, and the education you leave with remains with you for the rest of your life. Not only are you likely to leave Davis with a priceless diploma and a starting salary that makes up for all those weekends spent in Shields, you’ll also leave with friends, memories, and the experience of a lifetime. Sure, there are some things here that are somewhat different. Davis is a big school in a small town, there are cows on campus, most people ride bikes, and there are protests for practically every decision Congress makes. For prospective students who crave diversity and challenge, UC Davis may just be perfect.

Overall, I loved Davis. It took some getting used to, but it was a great experience. You have to meet the right people because it is a really small town. You have to be willing to put up with the small town life. If I had to do it all over again, there would be no hesitation: I would definitely go to Davis all over again. It was the best time of my life, and I loved it. The only thing you need to keep in mind is the small town factor. If you like big towns and nice clubs and bars, then Davis is not the place for you. If you are laid-back and like the laziness of a small town, then you will love Davis. |

I really like it here. I have no regrets about Davis. It’s the best environment for my major and my liberal attitude, and I feel like there are opportunities to explore any avenue of academics, social life, and activities in general. |
