Not the most famous institution in the University of California, except for the highly ranked Veterinary School, this campus is an undervalued and modern representation of all that is good in the UC system. Davis is a bike friendly college town that seamlessly connects to the university. More

Whether you are going for a formal event, going to class, or just going to walk and enjoy a gorgeous campus, this is everything that a world class university should offer. Bring or buy a picnic lunch and kick-back to enjoy the naturally beautiful campus. More

This is the Stanford of the central valley with bicycle paths throughout the city surrounded by green belts. The campus itself is appealing and growing in a controlled manner. Their agricultural and farm programs reflect the values of the area. The Mondavi Center is a great venue for cultural events. More

The campus is inviting and the quad features public events (concerts, Earth Day). Go into the Env. Sciences bldgs and enjoy the insects or aquatic critters display. The MU is a tasty place to get a bite. More
