First time here. Had seen most other UC campuses. Was not disappointed with this one. Beautiful, well maintained. Just the right new and old for a college campus. Bikes everywhere. Campus is huge. Went in a wonderful tour. Lunch at Tercero Commons was delicious.

I went on a walk here with friends through the gardens, super beautiful to check out the different plants and things you can see on campus. Not a long drive from Sac.

We had a mobile workshop tour of UC Davis, and two professors talked to us about Olive Oil, grapes, and beer. Was very informative.

I like revisiting . There's always a new building with new attractions. You can see a movie, work out in the gym or go to one of your old class rooms. Bowling was fun and the art galleries

Though not having the majesty of UC Berkeley campus, this sprawling site is well-maintained and fun to walk. Watch out for the bicycles, though, as this is how most students get around.

There are always lots of events going on every day. Make sure you check out the Arboretum. My kids like to go to the bowling alley under the student union.

Not sure what you can say about this campus that would elevate my review to something other than "average." The campus itself is the largest in the UC system, so you can walk and walk and walk and see many multi-story buildings where students live, study and learn. The campus is relatively flat, so no problem to walk wherever you... More

UC Davis is a large campus, very neat and modern. People travel around largely on foot or by bike, in fact they do that throughout the town as well. If you are new to the campus pull a map off the internet before you go, it will make finding things much easier.

Go to the Student Union, get a jalapeno bagel with egg salad, sit in the quad and watch the students rush by on foot or bike. It's a huge, lovely, zany campus. Don't forget to go to the Gorman Museum in Hart Hall for amazing exhibits! It's free!

UC Davis huge..but it has plenty of lawn space for relaxing and a superb arboretum. There are many nice facilities, and don't forget to bring your bicycle. This is Davis, after all.
