Davis is a very poor University town. Landlords are out to take full advantage of the student population - they do not respond to problems and they gouge students at every opportunity. Housing is inadequate in the town and that drives up the cost.
The Davis Police Department (the city police not the the UCD police) is one of the worst police organizations in the state. The Davis Police seems to enjoy bullying students and they apparently mistreat minorities.
My general impression is that the residents of Davis would prefer to have the UCD students to go away - they do not like the students and they demonstrate that always.

Davis has an amazing amount of coursework in plant biology and ecology. It has the advantage of multiple professors and resources in a variety of related areas of study. TA positions are realitively easy to get in entry level classes. If you want to head straight into research without any coursework, this may not be the place for you.

Biology

The Department of Applied Science is split primarily between two locations: one at UC Davis, and at Livermore National Laboratories. As a result the department is weak, focusing on Livermore projects and not on students. Some classes must be taken by remote viewing, which can be frustrating.

Professors who work at security tightened Livermore are rarely available for interviews or to answer student questions, even though they are classified as department councilors. Because of this and the unorganized department, I was not properly consulted about out of state costs associated with the University of California, and I went deeply into debt with no assistantship.

It would be better if the Applied Science Department was totally at Davis, and the department satellite(s) at national laboratories were devoted entirely to post-graduate activities. A Davis graduate administrator said that students are better served at the Physics Department, which is entirely on the Davis campus. Furthermore, most of the required courses are offered through the Physics Department, not the Department of Applied Science.

Engineering Department

If you're a painter, or a sculptor, it's a fine place. If not, then you'll think it's hell. It's not an open program what so ever, the dept. discription in the catalog does not equate to what's actually here.
