Junior: I love UC Davis! The teachers are mostly amazing, teach all of their own classes and are very approachable. Overall I would highly recommend attending. There have been advances in supporting our students of color, however they are fairly new so there is little expectations on the amount of support they may provide. The demographic population is also a concern as it is a predominantly white institution which can correlate to struggles for students of color. There are additional concerns with the quality of hygiene here as certain public utilities are not the best to gain access of. There is an emphasis to put yourself out there, however if communicating is not your strength, do not worry! There are plenty of events that aid students in beginning the path towards networking such as events for introverted students. You are given an active role in making connections as well as forming new career opportunities during and after your attendance here. Graduate Student: What I found while in attendance here in USC is that there are a plethora of resources available to the students given at every opportunity available. Most professors are great, but some are only there to do research and are forced to grudgingly teach a class or two, so look them up on Bruinwalk before enrolling in their classes. You will have to work your butt off, sometimes in less-than-ideal circumstances, but the returns will be more than worth it. In terms of academics, I will simply say that UCLA is a top school. If you're looking for a rad party scene, just cross the street into frat row, and you'll find parties every week. The campus itself is gorgeous (I love taking evening walks around sunset), and you can learn about the history of it from guided tours if you want. There are several dining halls right next to the dorms that each cater to a different style (ie dine-in, to-go, vegan specialties), as well as a few restaurants on campus and the nearby Westwood Village. Senior: If you can attend in-person classes, UCLA is a great school! The student dorms are on the expensive side, but well worth the price.
