Review of UC Davis Kültz Lab

If I'm 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, it's always a struggle to get the classes you want, and they're usually packed with students. TA's 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 you're too shy, you'll be lost in the crowd, choose to stand out. I'm 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. I'm looking forward to starting veterinary school this fall.
