  • In the first year i was in the college dorms as we were assigned. now in the second year i will be living off campus in Sol at West Village. i found out about this from seniors at my college. Many international students choose to live here. Monthly Rent varies from 700 to 2000 depending on what type of room you opt for. All utilities are included for an additional fee of 55 USD.
  • There were no such challenges while signing a lease for my second year. It was a pretty smooth process and all my doubts were cleared by them at the house tour and on the phone. I'd say there are a couple more like The Green, The Orchid and Identity, which are pretty good as well.
  • So it is a 5-10 min bike ride from campus and this is where most indian students stay.

Oh its great, there are a lot of undergrad students and organization so there's always some kind of event happening somewhere or the other, and benefits of that you network with new people and you get free food. And there are a lot of sports related events also happening in world class stadiums, specially the Football and Basketball games here are the best

I am living in a shared room off campus and I am paying $670 per month, for single you can expect around $1100 per month. And for the apartments I am living in its a furnished apartment with everything covered in that price but they have increased tha price to $830 this year (yes California is very expensive)

UC Davis has many clubs, so anyone can find something that they are passionate in. Once a year, UC Davis also hosts picnic day, which is our biggest event of the year. As a research institution, there is also many labs that one can join. Our library is not great compared to some other schools, and there are many areas on campus where the wifi does not work

All first year students are required to stay in the on-campus residential halls, which are typically 2-3 bed dorm rooms. Room and board costs about $18,000 for students for that academic year

Dorms were single, double, triple. It’s small but liveable. Dorm food was hit or miss.

My first year I lived on-campus and that was very convenient. My current and final year I am staying off-campus which is also convenient but my lease is expiring before my classes are over in the summer so I do not know where I will be staying for the two weeks.

Close to home, a good program for my major, well known, liberal. It is also a beautiful campus that is easy in terms of transportation if you have a bike. The whole campus is built to make biking easy.

It was close to home and affordable because I got a merit scholarship. Also, it is a great school so I would have great opportunities for my career in the future. I also believe the accounting program is one of the best.

I lived in the dorms my first year, which was fine, though the room was very small for three people. The dining commons provided good food so I appreciated that aspect. In my second and third years, I've been off-campus in apartments. It's been better, I like having a room to myself.

The distance from home and the quality of education were enticing, so I opted to go here over my other options, which would either have been further or less quality. I think the economics program is one of the top 20 in the country, so it made my decision easier.

The prestige of the school and location. I liked that it was relatively close to home for me, and my high school pushed for students to go to the most prestigious school they could get into. For me, that was UC Davis.

I have lived in student apartments during my time at UC Davis. Due to costs being high, I have always opted to share a room with another girl. This helps bring down renting costs and allows me to meet new people each year.

I chose UC Davis because it is 1.5 hours away from home, has good bachelors programs and I was awarded a full ride scholarship to attend UC Davis. I like how the campus is very scenic, has a welcoming vibe and all are very friendly.
