University of California-Davis Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend this school?

Carmel

Someone who doesn't like cows or the smell of them! But seriously, we don't really want narrow-minded students who don't appreciate diversity here because that's one of the main things we pride ourselves in.

roshan

someone who doesnt believe in sustainablity and someone that doesnt think there is an evironmental problem

Kelli

A person who really loves being in the city or near the beach would probably not love Davis very much.

gary

N/a

Daniel

Someone who needs to be in a big city or who is very academically competetive

Justin

If you are looking for a big time university. A person who drinks and parties a lot. Who don't care about the environment.

Gabrielle

City slicker. Valley girl. Materialistic City People.

Theresa

People who are academically focused and are only attending college for the academics. While Davis is strong academically, what makes this univeristy so unique and wonderful, is everything else it offers in addition to great academics. There is so much to take advantage of at UCD, students not interested in learning about different people (ethnicity, religion, sexuality), or getting involved in a campus club or event should consider going somewhere else. Also, Davis may not be the place for people who don't like cold, wet winters!

if your school hasn't prepared you well for college, then you definitely do not want to come here. i used to be a straight A, 4.0 student in high school and when i came to college, i received my first C's and F's. it was heart wrenching. you need to know what your resources are, such as your counselors and make a graduating plan so you know what classes to take. i was dismissed from the university at the end of my freshman year because i had received 2 F's. then i came back prepared.

A close-minded person shouldn't attend this school because there are different kinds of people and many opportunities to try different activities, that it'd be a waste to stay sheltered with oneself. Since Davis is a college town, it is a great place to easily meet other people of similar age.
