can easily escape on a bike into the local fields and hills.
close to Bay Area and Tahoe for culture/skiing/hiking/etc. I enjoyed Davis and if anything was lacking I could jump to UC Berkeley to get a book/a seminar/ or what ever was not at UCD or could not be delivered by intercampus services.
hot weather only for a week or two in Oct and May/June. cheaper living than in a city - local produce at farmers markets and even living in a nearby town can save money too.
UCD's crew and fencing clubs are not always mentioned on the college comparison sites.

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!

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.
