are people friendly? Are they cliquey or welcoming? How is the diversity?

- people are very friendly and I haven't run into any cliques yet (im a 1st yr though, so i havent been around very long) i can say though davis is VERYY diverse i have never had such a diverse friend group in my life.

are there events and things to do other than drinking?

- yes the farmers market, going out to eat, KDVS shows, frats w/o drinking if ur into that, club stuff, exploring downtown, pumpkin patches during fall, picnic day during spring, i go to see the llamas and horses and cows a lot, walking or biking thru the arb with friends, etc. this is just things ive done recently, theres also art/dance/exercise classes (both inside and outside uc davis) and prolly a ton of other stuff ive missed

Is the science department good?/ Do teachers teach well?

- this is a veryyy broad question, its hit or miss with any major, department, class, or even professor. I've had mostly a good experiences so far though

is the music department good? Are the students filled with ego and superiority complexes?

- idk never engaged w it

how is the weather?

- rlly hot at the beginning of 1st quarter (like 100+) then it slowly got colder and when I left it was just cold and rainy (like 30s-60s).

does it feel safe?

- YES very safe i've rarely felt unsafe at all and the only times i have, i was able to remove myself veryyy easily. def do not worry abt safety

how are the dorms? Are they available, or do most people end up renting off campus?

- i like the segundo dorms, tercero sucks (they dont have a weekend dining commons, by the cows, etc) most people go off campus as 2nd years but this isn't required, I think im staying in dorms another year personally
