“I did my undergrad in Ag Econ andQuite BrightEconomics
I did my undergrad in Ag Econ and got an excellent job straight out of school in consulting with a top firm (Accenture). From there, I returned 4 years later and did my MBA where I was hired on straight out school to IBM and not to mention I had 5 other job offers. I was told at Accenture that they hired from UCD because we knew how to "work" and "collaborate" better than most.
My experience was excellent. You have to "work" the school and take advantage of all it has to offer. If people did not enjoy their experience then they let the school "work" them in my opinion. I have been more successful than my friends who graduated from Yale, Cal, UCLA, and UCSD.
It comes down to whether you want to embrace your education or not and UCD has every opportunity available. The city is wonderful and safe. The faculty are amazing and the amount of research $$ that pours into UCD is incredible.I have NO regrets about my education choice and I am PROUD to be call myself an Aggie for life!

“I've attended this school for a year andBrightUndecided
I've attended this school for a year and honestly would have hated every moment of it if it weren't for the amazing group of friends I found. Half of us were kicked out of our residence halls and are leaving the school after our first year. This is a very nice school and a very good school (academically), but DO NOT go here if you expect to be breaking any types of rules or like to party. The only reason I might stay here is because of its good academic status, and even that probably won't be able to keep me. I'm not saying this is a bad school, it's just a perfect little town and you have to be a perfect little person to live in it. Remember that before you decide to go there.

“UCD is a nice safe place -Quite BrightPolitical Science
UCD is a nice safe place - so if you want something beyond a JC but afraid to really go off on your own UCD is fine. However, if you are independent and want to get the most out of your education then UCLA, Cal and UCSD are much better choices. The City of Davis is not a great college town and the people seem like our money but prefer the summer whan the students go home.
