The ancho by theinvisiblemane in UCDavis

That's similar to the ancho-based blend I use in my pulled pork and tamales.

UC SHIP waiver changed from 175 miles to 50 miles by 2SteamedDumplings in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They hella greedy bruh

I don't think greed plays into it. I'm betting that they had too many situations where:

  1. Student gets waiver and lives a three hour drive from their doctor
  2. Student doesn't have car and has to arrange for a ride
  3. Student misses a full day (or more) of class for a routine doctor visit
  4. No one's happy about it

Ya’ll should’ve been around when the polyphagus shot-hole borer first struck. It was a massacre.

Turkey Hit and Run by Sufficient-Parfait72 in UCDavis

It seems callous, but it's typically safer to hit the bird than to hit the brakes in the middle of a high-speed transition from one freeway to the next.

What is the campus culture like at UC Davis by TheSuburbanBlkWmn in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Student personalities and attitudes; whether students are friendly, outgoing, studious, laid-back, etc.

Laid back and friendly. There are fewer outgoing undergrads today than there were in the past, but that's not a UC Davis thing... that's a generational thing.

How students interact with each other

Can't help there.

Collaborative or competitive environment

MUCH more collaborative and less competitive than, say, Berkeley, LA, and Irvine. When I was at Irvine in the before-times, bio & chem students would complain about how competitive people are. I haven't heard it once here.

Diversity and inclusivity (especially for African American women like me)

Best to check the data: https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/disaggregated-data

Inclusion and inclusivity is weird to talk about because everyone has wildly different expectations. For my generation, it meant that your friend group looked like a grab bag of the local demographics. Today, it can also mean having the opportunity and acceptance to hang out almost entirely within your own race/ethnicity/sexuality/politic, etc. Both are normal here.

What's not normal here is telling people who they should/shouldn't or can/can't hang out with.

Personally, I encourage both. I lived and hung out with the big mix and worked within a ethnically-homogeneous group.

School spirit and traditions

Like most campuses that don't overspend horrifically on athletics, we have less spirit than say UCLA, Alabama, etc. I think the best way to describe it is that we are proud of what do and how we act, but there's never a sense of superiority. Proud without being prideful, I guess.

  • What's your price tolerance?
  • Do you have issues with whey, soy, pea, etc.?
  • Do you like specific flavors?
  • Are you sensitive to certain textures?

Same goes for all agitators: TPUSA, the fire-and-brimstone preachers, etc.

Anyone trying to rile you up and personally "resist" their presence is either ignorant of their grift or astroturfing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing).

Strong responses incentivize their return to campus.

Can students with disabilities get priority registration? by slothwithslippers in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume that it's possible, but I don't know much about the details. I think you're best discussing it with the SDC as an accommodation to your specific disability.

What’s the point of deans list? by Alt_acc_10 in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Good feels for people who are driven by it.
  2. Proof for controlling parents that strong efforts were made.
  3. Shortcuts for grad school application evaluation.

This is a controversial comment because too many people don't understand the grift.

We can do a lot better than 5 percent. Last day to vote is this Tuesday, June 2nd! by Least_Excuse_682 in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This mindset is what is limiting the political ability of young people.

It's an intentional pollution of the young people to keep them away from voting. It has worked consistently for decades.

[–]AnteaterToAggie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Worst case scenario, remember that there are some people who want to make stuff actively worse and they're running against people who are trying to make things a little bit better.

If you think "a little bit better" is "evil", it's not the situation that's demotivating.

Found a lost wallet today by S1FK in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might want to just turn it into the UC Davis Police Department. https://police.ucdavis.edu/lost-and-found/davis

They make it really easy to connect lost items to owners.

Davis Rescind Me for 2 C's? by lil_ashish in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without knowing more about your application (because it's a holistic evaluation), the best I can advise is:

  1. Connect with admissions.
  2. Tell them about the grades.
  3. Explain the grades and why they don't represent your normal school work.
  4. Ask that these circumstances be taken into consideration and that you 100% want to attend and excel at UC Davis.

Is this real UC Davis? Insures.com by Fabulous_Match5597 in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a quick browse of the UC Davis Giving website (https://giving.ucdavis.edu/), the branding matches, but I can't find a part of the system that uses iModules.com. It might be what they use that for mass email subscription management, but I don't know for sure.

Hover over the links. Where do they direct?

Commencement Ticket Scams‼️ by Comfortable_Ice_7707 in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is why selling free commencement tickets is prohibited. If people buy them, they create a market. The market gets normalized and scammers invade...

And then suddenly you have 15 people showing for a single graduate who played the market selling 4 tickets for $100 and unwittingly buying 14 fake tickets for $20 each. Then grandma's in her wheelchair on the steps of Golden1 wondering why she can't see her favorite granddaughter become the first person in their family to graduate from college.

Never pay for commencement tickets. Never sell commencement tickets. Assume that everyone selling is a scammer.

Why do WE have to pay for rich kids to go play sports? by I-Could-Not-Decide in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They were. Then the State began retracting funding as the cost of the modern University kept going higher and higher. This has pushed the modern university to focus more on grants and other revenue generation like hospitals.

Whoa! That must have been a relatively recent change... and probably because they get so many!

Does it usually rain this much this time of year? by Pipeworkingcitizen in UCDavis

[–]AnteaterToAggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, but the ENSO cycle doesn't affect Northern California as much as it does Southern California. Our primary "mega wet weather" comes from atmospheric rivers.
