“Studying electrical engineering at UC Davis is veryQuite BrightElectrical Engineering
Studying electrical engineering at UC Davis is very time consuming. Students will go through each week doing multiple homework assignments. Grading vary from professors to professors. Some will not give out A's. Some give out only a certain percentage of A's. There are abundant of smart people in the major and competition can be tough. Cheating is pretty rampant in the major also. Lower classmen usually makes friends with upper classmen to get previous years homework solutions. Sometimes people manage to get hold of previous year's midterms which the instructor (lazily) uses again. Cheaters usually copy off each other by scavageing solutions from other people. Look for these people in the library cramming before an exam. Some students outright cheat during an exam by bringing in crib notes.

“I had a great experience!!Mechanical Engineering
I had a great experience!! It's a college town, which I believe is a big advantage. If you have money and time, it is 2 hours from San Francisco and 2 hours from Lake Tahoe. Personally, I was swamped with classwork and on-campus extra-curricular. I was never bored although, there were times when I felt like a number, instead of a person.
