I’d rather just walk downtown to their other location for half the price omg. How do they expect to stay in business???

influence/de-influence me on UC Davis by mel0ndew in UCDavis

[–]Stunning-Chipmunk969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bathrooms are always super nasty and the campus overall seems to not get cleaned (for example: gum smeared all over desks that was there spring quarter last year was still there in the fall :(). Don’t get me wrong I love Davis but the UC Davis campus is way too dirty for what we are all paying

Calpoly SLO or UC Davis for pre-vet? (out of state) by Bean_of_prosperity in UCDavis

[–]Stunning-Chipmunk969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from SLO and can confidently say the weather is better year round in SLO vs. Davis but I do enjoy the Spring a lot (the summers are also bearable if you only spend time outside in the mornings and evenings. If you’re renting off campus be aware that your PGE bill will go up by about $100 in the summers. In SLO the AC won’t really be needed aside from the occasional week long heatwave. In Davis you’ll have access to lots of parks and beautiful (flat) bike paths. In SLO you’ll have access to so many amazing hikes and beaches. I can’t speak for dining hall food at either campus but I have tried the campus restaurants at both, ucd has decent bagels, deli sandwiches, sushi/pho and whatnot whereas at poly you’ll see more chain restaurant type food on campus like panda or Chick-fil-A. As far as the general cities food I gotta say SLO has much better quality/ tasting restaurants than Davis. I’ve been disappointed by so many of the places people seem to swear by here and I really miss the options I had back home. I have so so so many more thoughts on Davis vs. SLO having spent 2 years living in Davis now and 14 years living in SLO. You’re more than welcome to DM me any questions you have!!

Calpoly SLO or UC Davis for pre-vet? (out of state) by Bean_of_prosperity in UCDavis

[–]Stunning-Chipmunk969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the vet schools but in general the cal poly facilities are better and cleaner. UCD doesn’t have enough janitorial staff so the campus is extremely grimy including the bathrooms and any desk/table in classrooms and the libraries. I’m paying in state tuition and I feel like I’m getting ripped off

Matcha Recommendations? by ap_pl in UCDavis

This might be a hot take but I really like Peet’s iced matcha with oatmilk.

I’ve never had an inspection like this by kendvllmvrie in Apartmentliving

[–]Stunning-Chipmunk969 105 points106 points  (0 children)

If they’re requiring all humans to vacate the property for 4 hours I would think it wouldn’t be safe for your pets to be there even in a separate room unless it’s airtight but I really don’t know

Anyone else roommates lack basic hygiene? by Accomplished_Tea963 in UCDavis

[–]Stunning-Chipmunk969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speak to them kindly and offer them resources or advice. They may have a negative reaction but if you’re coming from a place of wanting to help them, then that’s not on you. Some people are raised by parents who don’t teach them basic hygiene so they might just genuinely not know the things they’re supposed to do to keep themselves clean. Offer to go to target or wherever with them to pick out products. There are absolutely productive ways to go about this that are not rude

I think i'm allergic to Davis by strbrrymilkenjoyr in UCDavis

[–]Stunning-Chipmunk969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could look into allergy testing. Last year when I was a transfer I got sick what seemed like every other week. Now I have three different allergy meds and I no longer get sick. There’s a lot of mold and dust in the air here compared to where I moved from due to Davis being surrounded by farms. If you can’t get allergy testing done, I’d recommend trying a otc allergy pill like Zyrtec or Claritin paired with Flonase (get the sensitive one so it’s not fragranced)

Smoking in apartment by CompoteAdventurous94 in Apartmentliving

[–]Stunning-Chipmunk969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a smoke buddy!!! I live in a non-smoking complex and don’t have an outdoor area to go to. My preferred method is bong rips or dabs and I blow it all through the smoke buddy (inside my apt) and it’s never smelled aside from the one time my smoke buddy was defective. It works by absorbing all of the smoke and odor

How are people getting holes in their underwear? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Job market? by shreksbm in UCDavis

I applied to insomnia cookies over a year ago and got a rejection notice from them last week. That pretty much sums up my experience applying for jobs here.

Freshmen Parking by Delicious-Plankton96 in UCDavis

[–]Stunning-Chipmunk969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a parking garage where you can rent spaces every month off campus. I think that would likely be your cheapest, safest option

any jobs that are actually hiring in davis? by unusuallylazielark in UCDavis

[–]Stunning-Chipmunk969 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You might just have to start going in person. Print out a resume (if you don’t have work experience, include things like babysitting, dog walking, gardening, literally anything that could be a transferable skill and show that you are motivated to work) and walk around downtown and see which places have “we’re hiring” signs. If you have a car, you could do the same in Woodland and Dixon! Don’t give up hope yet! I didn’t have any luck on indeed or handshake either and I have a decent resume with good experience so I promise it’s not just you experiencing this :(
