There are many great faculty members here and they are willing to take undergraduates under their wings.

UC Davis is surely not easy to get into. But even if you get in, it means nothing if you do not do well. Since it is one of the well-known university in the West Coast, students need to be self-motivated. They don't have to be the best of the best, but they surely need to have the willingless to learn and expand their skills through the journey in college life. They also requires self-control from the negative influence from the temptation of the world. A clear personal pursit is strongly recommmended.

Despite my above complaint, anyone who is searching for a school with talent professor's involved in cutting edge research but does not wish to deal with the effects of being enrolled at a name brand school would be perfect for UC Davis. I've never felt that the professor's were lacking in anyway, and my education has prepared me as much as any friend who went to Berkley or Harvaard, for my goals to attend graduate school. I believe this to be a wonderful school for the laid back but intellegent students of the world.

We have a strong agricultural department, and our Engineering department is not given enough credit at all. The sciences are highly funded at this school.

If you are environmentally-conscious, open to new cultures and peoples, and a pretty liberal, Davis is a great choice for you!
