University of California--Davis

About Me

Intro

I'm one of the friendliest schools you'll ever meet, hands down.

I'm all about success through teamwork rather than rivalry. While a little friendly competition never hurts, it's not cutthroat or mean-spirited over here. I'm more likely to ace my finals with a study buddy than by ripping pages out of library books. Just saying.

Some people think I'm boring or a bit of a hick, but they just haven't gotten to know me well enough. I'm more small college town than anything else. Besides, farms and cows don't make me any less exciting than any other school—and just because I'm smart doesn't mean I need to flaunt it.

I care as much about education as I do about community (though, to be honest, I care about a lot of things), and I've got something for everyone. Promise.

Name

I'm Gunrock. I might look like a mustang, but I'm an Aggie through and through.

Hometown

Davis, CA. An hour east of the Golden Gate and a short drive from Sac Town.

Birthdate

1908

Body Type

Pretty big. I have about 30,000 students. I'm the largest UC, spanning more than 7,000 acres (although, a lot of that is farmland).

Current Living Situation

Students stay in the dorms for freshman year and then usually move to an apartment off campus. Some try living in Sacramento, but the commute can be tiresome. Plus, Davis has plenty of affordable places near campus, nightlife, and all of your friends.

Relationship Status

Single, now that Cal is out of the picture.

I have a frenemy thing happening with Sac State, but I legit dislike Cal Poly. No offense. (Well, maybe a little.)

Religion

Nah, man. Separation of church and state.

Politics

On the liberal side of moderate.

You should apply to me if...

you're a nice person and a smart cookie looking for an authentic college town experience.
