    The Dining Commons are amazing. My friend's friends came from UCI and they were amazed with the food here. The food's great on campus, but also off campus.

    Great vegetarian dishes. The dining commons offer special dinner with fun themes like Harry Potter Night. They are always friendly and want students to feel comfortable!

    Excellent dining commons. You'll be ok if you're a vegetarian, vegan, or omnivore. They have cool theme nights, too, once in awhile.

    The food is actually really good. Tercero has the worst dining and Cuarto has the best dining.

    For freshman dining commons, and resturants around the campus, there is a variety of different cuisines, with varying price ranges as well.

    Obviously you can't expect too much in the way of dining hall foods because every college I've ever been to has had DC food that's made me sick. However, in terms of college DCs Davis has the best I've ever been to. As far as the city goes, there's a restaurant for about every type of food and an incredible amount of grocery stores.

    The Greek life as many fraternities and sororities to fit almost all types of people; there are ethnic based and even major based like the pre-med frat. There's an option for everyone.

    At UC Davis, students in Fraternities are not regarded as higher status by Non-Greeks. It's very much a preferential thing here: Whether or not you choose to participate in Greek Life, no one judges you for either decision. They are the major source of parties at UC Davis, however.

    They have plenty of those. They are very welcoming when they are throwing a party and believe it or not you will I have a great time. The reason why I say it like that is because before I came to Davis I heard bad stuff about Davis such as there is not a lot of things to do here But it is nothing like that!
