A Student Guide to UC Davis

Hi! I'm a senior at UC Davis and I wanted to make a guide for anyone who is currently attending or will attend in the future. I wish I had someone telling me the little secrets the tour guides don't mention.



A little more about me:
I'm majoring in biochemistry with a minor in technology management <-best minor ever. Planning on graduating in Spring of 2013. Came in with way too many units as a freshman so if you have a question about transferring from a CC or anything else, shoot me a message.


If you ask me a question with your username I can answer it straight to your inbox, unless I think it's funny and/or useful to others.

Did you know you can rent tablets, cables and chargers from the computer labs (specifically the SCC)? I use these when I want to write out a bunch of useless notes to help remember things. I love UCD.

What apartments do you suggest I look at then?
studentguidetoucdavis studentguidetoucdavis Said:

Check out this Facebook page and also apartments managers are giving out great deals on Craigslist. I would suggest North Davis because it’s pretty close to campus and very high density of college students.

My friend is working on a very cool project, working on a way to solve the global hunger crisis and feed 9 billion people by 2050, and I’m trying to help get Team UC Davis get votes! It would mean a lot to me if you were able to spread this to fellow Davisites, here’s a link to a post I’ve made about the project, which includes their video!http://yogurtpockets.tumblr.com/post/49422100581/please-vote-for-team-uc-davis-my-friend-and

why should i consider joining PSP?
studentguidetoucdavis studentguidetoucdavis Said:

For me it started out as a great addition to my resume, but I met these amazing people that I would never had the opportunity to otherwise. We just had our first initiate class and they’re all incredible people. As a science major I don’t get the chance to interact with comm majors or art majors, but we have a great mix. 

I would like to invite anyone interested to a hike on May 18th 9:15am at University Falls. Let me know if you’d like to go to this open event for just the price of gas and lunch :)

What's your suggestion for housing for a transfer student. It's my first year and I'm not from the area. I want to think that student housing apartments (Lexington, Drake, West Village, etc.) are better for my transition but what would you say? Pricing wise and experience wise
studentguidetoucdavis studentguidetoucdavis Said:

I think that any apartment complex is social in the first few months. Just get to know your neighbors. Knock on their doors and invite them over for dinner or something :)
Personally, I would stay away from West Village etc. since they are crazy expensive. I would suggest getting your own room, but participating in a roommate placement program so you can make friends with other transfers.

Will this still be active when you graduate?

I’ve been debating about this. I will probably hand it over to someone who likes to explore as much as I do :)
