When deciding where to go to school, IBrightEnglish
When deciding where to go to school, I was torn between UC Davis and UC SantaBarbara. I am so glad I chose Davis. Davis is the perfect school to go to. It provides the perfect balance between a social life and study life. The competition for grades is not cutthroat, however it is competitive and students DO study when they need to. I say this meaning that if you wanted to stay in for a weekend, you would'nt feel bad because there are plenty of students who do. On the other hand, if you wanted to go out on a monday night...people are all for that too! Davis is the perfect school for anyone, because there are all different kinds of people here and ANYONE can fit in. This school has TONS of excellent resources. Essentially, Davis is the best UC out there.

Question
This place is alright, offers interesting majors andQuite BrightEconomics
This place is alright, offers interesting majors and classes, campus is nice with a lot of open space and greenery. food is good, doesn't get old after 5 weeks.

davis itself is kinda slow though, but what do you expect from a small college town. if you're a city person, you may not like it at first, but then you adjust and realize that since you'll probably get a job in a big city after graduating, you mind as well save the city life for later and enjoy what a small town has to offer when you have the chance right now.

definitely a school on the rise, yet adhering to its original charm, not arrogant and insecure like other schools that may be "ranked" higher or more selective, come on you girls, you know it's stupid to go to a more competitive school where you'll be working harder just to get good grades and not for the sake of learning, only to realize that you did it all for nothing. life is not about working hard, but working smart, which is what ucd strives for. also the place only offers 3 accounting courses, yet the big 4 still bother to recruit from here. i don't know how that speaks on the legitimacy of big 4 recruitment, but at least they do. but then again, sjsu grads hold the most prominent presence in silicon valley than any other school, and after knowing that fact, i don't know just how legitimate the real world is now *shudders*. no but sjsu is still ownage, i may go there for my MSA

Question
If you're look forAverageArt & Design Department
If you're look for an intellectual environment, this school is not for you. Students aren't very bright at all(at least in undergraduates classes).However, if you want to be with people who are extremely friendly and laid back. This is a school for you. Overall, it is a very solid University.
