I unfortunately recently fell victim to a scammer pretending to be a proffesor from UC Davis. He offered me 400 a week for about 10 hours of work, how could I say no? The interview process was pretty legit and he even had me do a practice assignment to see if I could fulfill what the job needed. He then gave me another assignment as a distraction from his real goal. He sent me a check and told me to send the money to someone on zelle. The check went through and I got the money so I thought, "oh hes trusting me with the money must be legit", so I sent the money. Two days later the check he sent got rescinded and because I had already sent the money through zelle it took my money instead. I realize I have nobody to blame but myself and believe me, I do. I hope my experience can help anyone who gets an email like this. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is... thus is the world we live in.

Best AYCE spots in Davis?

My water bottle leaked

Like why??? Theyre rented and dont run unless you pay for them right? You dont even need to lock them up. Please dont take up valuable bike rack space for this. Am I crazy for being infuriated by this???

Hello, i am a transfer student coming in the fall. I'm really stuck between living at the Green and Axis. Money is not an issue, so non-factor(configuration would cost similar at both). I toured axis and it seemed really nice, exactly what i want out of somewhere to live. But location is a little far and concerned about being next to a highway.

This would be my first time living on my own(male, 22yo). The Green was originally where I wanted to live since even before applying to Davis. Relatively new, modern, surrounded by people in the same situation. Also Sage street always there for quick grab groceries. Plus the bus to class would probably have more people, which I like. More opportunities to chat up with someone, all that. But, I need to bring my car. And I am aware the green is a lottery. Axis you can have a spot if you pay for it. The Axis rooms/bathrooms also look sick, it would be nice and aligns with what I like as well.

What I am wondering is. If I choose off-campus housing will I be missing out on a chance to live in a college-dorm type experience and be around people, especially in the same situation, being transfers, etc. I do value this, and you are only an undergrad once and at this stage in your life. Another though was worse case, I could do at a year at the Green then switch if I don't like it. Then getting a taste of both. But not sure if I should just do the one that looks nicer, without the consideration for life-stages, environment, all of that. Also the other place is pretty new and has good deals now.

I want to clarify both are nice, and i was set on the green until I toured axis. I wanted Horizon building bc of the sunset/sunrise. Or Celadon. But I have not been able to talk to someone who actually lives at Axis to see if its all just bells n whistles. The axis gym has equipment I want as well. Good for when I can't go to the Arc. Green gym is nice, but missing some things(only saw the one they toured on Aggie day). I live an hour away further up in Norcal, so a car is a requirement. Need at least good chances of getting parking. In general financial aid would also give a little more at the Green.

Any advice would be great. I know I only talked about two options. But what I am really wanting to know is off-campus experience vs transfer housing, for the first transfer year. And which direction would be best, trade-offs for both. Thanks

You decide.

Rocko is putting the whole university at risk - we can't keep waiting for Davis to do the right thing (deflecting the national news agencies and lawyers that are contacting us). There is alleged donor fraud, fraudulent recruitment, inflated budgets and years of discriminatory remarks agains the Olympic feeder sports and women's sports.

Equestrians are net positive to the university:

Your student fees fund this athletics department. Please use your voice and call the Chancellor and tell him that UC Davis is better than this.

Can someone please give me a reason to not hate the UC Davis transportation service?

Their enforcement is sporadic, they haven’t give back to the community much, they keep raising the parking price without any improvements to their enforcement consistency.

I just see them as parasites sucking the blood of their friends and colleagues that work and study here at this point. I feel anger when their car pass me. I don’t like what this hate is doing to me.

Please, can someone give me a new point of view.

just me?….cool cool

I'm still in grade 11, and is wondering how hard it is to graduate in three years so I can pay one year less of tuition? I already have 5 on AP chem and Micro and hopefully will get a 5 on CalcBC, Macro, Stat, Psych and Compgov. If i take some more APs next year, how likely will I graduate early?

Where can I find food spots in davis that serve vegan or vegetarian ramen? Can y’all recommend some restaurants that do not burn pockets?

Hey guys, if anyone here also applied to the Hugh Edmundson Research Internship, I wanted to ask if they have heard back yet?? They said interviews would happen mid-May, and it's currently mid-May, but I haven't heard anything from them so do I just assume that I'm getting ghosted and it's a rejection?? Please lmk if someone has heard back or not, and there's still hope!! Thanks in advance.
