University of California, Davis (UC Davis) Courses and Fees 2025

• The first year was not hard if you've done cs before . It was a mix of both, depending on the classes you take. The positive aspect of the course is the variety of branches of cs you get to explore and understand. The negative aspect of the course is some classes have a large batch size so there are a lot of people for the TAs and professors.
• Depending on your choices, you might have days with no classes at all or up to 4–5 in a day.
• In my year there are around 300-400 cs students. among those around 100 are indian

• Total cost over 4 years is around 330,000 USD for a non-resident
• Each quarter the cost is about 25000 USD
• First Year Cost Breakdown for each quarter:

  • Tuition: 4400
  • Non-Supply Tuition: 11400
  • Campus fee: 800
  • Student Services: 430
  • Fees is charged Quarterly
  • Monthly Spend varies a lot in the first year. You realise you need things and other requirements. But just based on basics, you can spend 200 USD a month.

It's very good you can customise it to your preferences and needs, you don't have to strict to one specialization you can take whatever subject you want. And there are three options to complete your degree by Exam, Project or Thesis option, so you can complete your degree according to that as well

So there are 6 Quarters in 2 years and for every quarter the fees is $10k + $2k for heal insurance (which you can take from third party for less price also), so in total $60k or $72k , and the fees in not according to the subjects you take its standard for every quarter whether you take 1 or 5 subjects, its same

Price and proximity to home, it is also fairly competitive for my program. This school is great for research experience as it is a research institution, but I find that many of the required courses are unnecessary, with lots of memorization that is not relevant for future careers

$36,912 per year for in-state students who live in off-campus apartments, this cost includes the estimated cost of rent, food, and utilities

It was needlessly hard on several courses. Teacher quality varied greatly.

$30k/yr.

I love it. I love my teachers and I look forward to lectures. The courses are very relevant to what is happening in the real world and it makes me feel prepared. There are many classes to choose from. My emphasis is Peace and Security so I take a lot of classes about war history, foreign policy and scientific Study of War courses.

Tuition, Courses, Health Insurance through campus, meal plan and on-campus living came to 35-40 grand.

I feel as though it is adaptable for anyone who wants to explore more than just their major. We can take courses outside our pathway and still be able to successfully complete all the courses required by our core classes.

My tuition was mostly already covered along with other expenses because of merit scholarships and financial aid.

It's good, I suppose. Depends on the classes of course but all the professors are really smart and the TA's are helpful. Some classes are weirder or more complicated so obviously, the curriculum depends on the course you're taking, so it's hard to answer such a general question.

Well, they charge tuition and for online book access, which is optional. Tuition isn't too expensive although the online books can sometimes run $90 (cheaper than the textbook would have been though).

It is highly rigorous and difficult. The quarter system is honestly brutal. Class sizes are too big and it is almost impossible to feel like I am getting a truly personalized education. I feel as though I am on my own at the school with nobody to depend on but myself.

This college is so overpriced. I went to a community college as well where I spent a small fraction of the cost I spent at Davis and I have better materials. It seems as though student costs do not cover materials and costs for that individual student learning experience. It seemed as though the money just went towards the professor's research because in all of my bio classes I used a microscope maybe four times. At the community college, I had my own microscope to use every day.

The course curriculum is well-paced and encourages students to learn. My courses are all very interesting and relate to my future career in healthcare. My current child development class will help me later on in my endeavors as an OB/GYN.

Fees that accrued during the school year are generally paid with financial aid/grant money that is awarded the assistance of FAFSA.
