Favorite thing about UC Davis? One of my favorite things about UC Davis is how green the campus is. My favorite spot on campus is the Redwood Grove because in just a few steps it can feel like you are not even in the city anymore. Besides being green I love how friendly the community is. Walking through the quad or even through town you can always find familiar faces to say hello.
