This is indeed an atrocious university given their wealth, and it axiomatically receives zero stars. If you want to be constantly abused by the administrators, you may decide to work here. The starting salary for a lecturer is less than 60000, while the housing prices for a dilapidated house is over 2000 monthly in Davis, CA. Expect to pay at least 1000 for various deductions--tax, etc.--monthly. Also, some of the worst administrators include the deans and their associates, as they mercilessly and ignorantly implement "policies" and "practices" that never financially benefit the lecturers. Simply put, UC Davis comprises a terrible administration; please avoid it. While it boasts about its accomplishments, it is merely an antediluvian dinosaur with its bones left. AND REPORTING MY POST WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING!

The school offers a mediocre education at best. Most classes were not challenging. The school is full of Bay Area frat boys/girls who aren't that smart. If you are international or out of state, then the tuition honestly isn't worth it.

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!

I have been here for about 10 years as I was a undergraduate student and then became a graduate student with a one year gap in between. I love the environment here. Very peaceful, though the foods for graduate students can have some improvements.

I received my bachelor's degree from UCD and loved the experience there! I learned that you have to step outside your comfort zone in order to succeed and really enjoy your college experience, and I think there were plenty of opportunities to do so in Davis.
I also love, love, love the campus! It's full of nature and everyone is cautious of the environment. Always clean and gorgeous.

I just could not get over the feeling that I was the one and only single African American who was surrounded by an endless mass of Asian Americans who was wondering what the heck was a person like me, doing on their campus!? I have met several nice students, but the diversity of people on campus has very little to do with the diversity of the real world.

Currently I am a rising Junior at UC Davis. I am in love with the campus, the people and the community. Having experienced living in an urban city college this summer, my love for UCD has only grown. I am so thankful to be able to learn in a diverse setting with a student community that genuinely is keen on helping one another. The campus is beautiful - take a look at the arboretum. Make the most of your four years at the school and become involved. There's lots to do if you take the initiative.

UC Davis Official Housing is a rip-off. I got packed like a sardine into 303B Webster Hall in Cuarto. Transfer students deserve better than that. There were numerous problems with the unit itself including a leaky air conditioner and air vents that were never cleaned. I have allergies and It's very noticeable to me if the air quality is off. There was no built in bathroom fan and its paint was peeling when we moved in.
The square footage is less than a typical one story apartment and awful for the price if you calculate it per month...in addition the DC has great food but is also way overpriced just go to Savemart and pool with some people to rent an apartment, they don't check roommate compatability in UCD anyway, total BS typical at orientation to scam new students. Cuarto was not even near campus had to bike because bus was always full. And my suitemate was forced to pay for campus parking also ridiculous rip-off

An embarrassment of an educational establishment. Their "under the rug" handling of the pepper spray incident and the rehiring of the abomination of a person who ordered it clearly establishes the administration as utter corrupted trash.

The most beautiful season is fall. I do enjoy walking in campus with hot coffee from MU. My favorite building is silo. Chicken over rice from food truck!

Transferred here for the last 2 years of my bachelor's degree from 2011-2013. Best educational decision I have ever made! I was around for the pepper spray incident and echo others who have said DO NOT let this incident stop you from considering UC Davis. People who had a problem with that will always have something to complain about. UCD is a great school with a great vibe and a great reputation in a great college town. Close to the Capitol, which can provide some amazing opportunities, as it has for me. Being a UCD alumnus is something I will always be proud of!

If you're coming from So Cal just be warned that people and the lifestyle of nor cal is very slow paced and boring. Also given the fact that there's nothing to do in Davis, you may implode. The education is phenomenal and difficult. The food is pretty good. Just make sure it's what you really want in a college experience.

Returning for a bike ride around campus after a 40+ year absence since graduation here. Glad to see many of the old original buildings have been preserved, while upgrading around them.
