27 years ago I was a 6' tall kid that didn't row. (Not sure what my height or rowing has to do with anything but people seem to post that). Great campus that has continued to grow and modernize. Good support from Alum and community. Too much emphasis on research and development instead of teaching. I would have liked to see the focus for the professors shift away from research and towards teaching. The TA's should be just that, assistants. I have to say though that I have a great life with a wonderful family. UC Davis is a.big part of the reason for my life today. Wonderful friends were made there and of course a love for wine began at the home of the Aggies. Over the years since I have worked for, owned, and run several businesses providing the income for many families which has also been a product of UC Davis. I'm very proud to have attended school at Davis, proud to be the husband of a Cal Poly SLO grad, and proud parent of two great kids one of which starts at Boise State in August, and the other who has a 4.3 loves soccer and hopes to attend Cal Poly or Davis in the footsteps of his parents!
