The economic crisis and policy changes concerning immigration have made living more challenging.

Tips: The culture here is both inclusive and accepting. You will be a part of some of the most culturally rich environments, with clubs and societies ranging from dramatics to artificial intelligence to sports and so much more. I was given a merit-based scholarship that reduced my tuition by 8,500, which has been helpful. Since this is a big campus, getting a bike would really save time.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Living in the United States these days has become a very far-fetched idea. The economic crisis and policy changes concerning immigration have made living here more challenging. It is even more difficult because student visas have been revoked in some cases.

Friendly faculty and big and vibrant campus with a good ranking.

Tips: Students should be prepared to go through a lot of work at once. Unfortunately, UC Davis has a quarter system, which means there's no break from rigorous academics. Unlike other schools that have semester systems, we go through a lot of work at once. The only advantage is you get a lot of time off. Time management is key when at UC Davis. Students enjoy attending various extracurricular activities organized by the college, including a career and internship fair. The campus provides many places to spend the day attending lectures and completing assignments. The faculty is good. They will help you with assignments and are very approachable. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
