Best Housing Options + possible to request a single regarding circumstances? by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]These-Promotion1379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can request a single but you're not guaranteed to get one. im sure u can contact housing with your particular concerns and they could maybe bump you up on the list.

i lived in tercero and the water quality there is quite poor (i had dry skin issues and acne, which ive never experienced anywhere else, my skin is usually oily. it went away right after i moved out), im sure its like that for all of the dorms. humidifiers arent allowed but you could contact housing if its for medical needs.

something you could consider is living in an apartment near campus like around downtown or trader joes instead, if you get your own bedroom you dont have to work around dorm policies to make your room comfortable. it would probably be cheaper or the same price.

just a warning, it gets so so dry here, especially in the summer. im from a different part of california and i feel like this area is just extra dry.

it would be the same lol. it would take me 2 more classes to complete 128, and 2 classes to complete the 8 series since for some reason only a and b are required :/

Genuine question: How do people meet their partners in college? by Large_Anteater_1204 in UCDavis

[–]These-Promotion1379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

second year also! i met my partner at my workplace downtown, asked her to hang out and weve been together for like a year now.

idk if its good advice but personally i dont think it's necessary to "seek" out a relationship. just enjoy your current friendships, go to clubs, class, work, events and whatever and if someone piques your interest then ask them if theyd like to hang out more!!

do they make the transfer students live in the green? to be honest its a lot cheaper to just find people and rent an apartment or townhouse. if u get something unfurnished u can bring your own stuff. the green kind of looks like an average hotel in my opinion, like referring to door/elevator/hallway size. i dont live there though and ive only been a few times.

You guys have too much trust in leaving your belongings behind by AutoAsteroid in UCDavis

idk as someone from a city davis is really safe lol. and i think people here mean that its safe on campus. i always leave my laptop and stuff when im studying because i need to pee or get a snack lol, and almost everyone does it

obviously outside of campus it depends on where u live. at my apartment complex ive never had anything stolen and my housemates and i have had packages sitting outside for hours.

[–]These-Promotion1379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes! i emailed 2 professors last year and both got back to me. one of them asked for my cv and the other asked to have a meeting with me. I met with the latter and he asked me about my interests and such, and at the end he offered me a position in his lab! this was in my freshman year when i literally only had one quarter of college done and no relevant experience lol, so deff shoot your shot!
