Yes! I’ve posted on previous threads about being surprised at how much DS likes UC Davis. The kids are really nice, very friendly and outgoing.  Campus is beautiful and downtown Davis is right outside the gates. Lots of college friendly stores and restaurants that stay open late, live music at restaurants and bars, and campus is spread out so it doesn’t feel crazy crowded. You have to bring a bike or buy one when you are there. I think all the daily bike riding and outdoor activities helps the kids moods. Academically, it’s good and DS has really liked the TA/Professor model. Proximity to Sacramento (15 minute train) is great for internships for social sciences. It’s ranked 31 or 33, so there are a good number of productive researchers and research opportunities for students. Clubs are active and welcoming. Housing is easier and more available than at other UCs.

As a mom, I love it. It’s one of the only UCs that is not in the path of a potential natural disaster. It’s close enough that we can see him for a day every once in a while without him missing out on social activities during the weekend. The train station is next to downtown and campus and really well situated for routes. Great campus bus system. Very environmentally friendly in every feasible way. Extremely safe.[/quote]
