So I have been at Davis for almost three weeks now, and it has been a blast so far, to be honest. The people here are all super chill and super friendly. My room mates turned out to be really cool guys as well. My classes have been alright, so its all gucci for the most part.
One crazy thing most people don't know about Davis is the bikes. And by bikes I mean close to 40,000 bikes. Yup, pretty much every student at UC Davis gets around campus by bike, as there are no car access on campus. It is really cool because there is no traffic and its really quick to get from one side of campus to another. Even though I live off campus, it takes me approximately 5-10 minutes to get to any class, and if you ever been to Davis you know its a pretty big campus, with all the buildings spread out. To make the flow of traffic easier around campus there is a bike circle at pretty much every major intersection to direct the bikes so there are no accidents.
On the first day of classes all the non-freshmen sit on the quad near the most congested bike circle to watch freshmen navigate through the hundreds of bikes there. It is actually pretty funny, and is an UC Davis tradition, to watch freshmen fall on their bikes during the first week of school.
