Hey all,

I browsed a bit but didn't come across a thread for UC-Davis. I begin my MS in Animal Sciences-Reproductive Biology this fall and am very excited! I don't know much about the town but I've been told it's beautiful, very warm in the summer, and laid back. I visited the campus last November (loved it) and will be returning March 3rd for recruitment weekend. Anyone else joining the event? Anyone else know absolutely no one at the university? Congrats to everyone who received grad school acceptances!

Hi! I'm going to be at Davis in the Fall for a Developmental Psychology PhD! I can't wait but also know nobody at the school so I look forward to meeting people!

Starting a Biochemistry, Molecular, Cellular, Developmental Biology Ph.D. in the Fall. I know some people there, and I grew up 1.5 hours away from Davis, but have only been there twice. How's everyone's housing hunt going?

Awesome! I've met my lab mates and they are all very nice, but I don't know anyone there personally as I am coming alllll the way from Illinois. House hunting is a bit tricky for me because I have a 75 lb German Shepherd mix. I've found a few nice apartments in Davis, Woodland, and West Sacramento. I am giving heavy consideration to commuting from West Sacramento as it is more financially feasible. I'd love to rent a house with 1 or 2 people that are dog friendly so I am keeping my options open. I will be visiting Davis again in June to house hunt for a few days.
