I would tell prospective students that UC Davis is an awesome college town that will provide fun, rigorous academics, and the opportunities to grow as a person.

What do you like about academics and student life here?
I like that everyone aims to do well and be helpful in assisting others learning. There is a lot of collaboration here in projects and studying. You are able to form study groups very easily and in turn assist in each other's learning. Student life is also very busy and plentiful. You can easily find something to do whether for enjoyment or for career. There are tons of restaurants and activities to do downtown and on campus. You just have to put yourself out there!
