Was just assaulted for no reason by some lady on the bike path going from campus to south Davis. Right about the entrance to the arb. Be careful 🙏 she almost made me fall off my bike. Tall ish woman wearing a dress with a young pitbull looking type dog not on a leash. I’m not sure if she is homeless or not but she was walking around with no shoes.

Slowed down to let her and the dog pass, the dog wasn’t crossing so she walked back to it leaving room for ppl to go by on the other side. I smiled and kept biking when she lunged at me, slapping my arm and causing me to veer off the path…luckily didn’t fall.

Please be careful

Is it just me or I feel like there’s so little people on campus today.

To the girl who sat nearby me in lecture on Wednesday, COUNT YOUR DAYS. I am starting to feel sick and I was hoping I would not, with you sniffling very loudly every 5-10 seconds for the entirety of lecture. It was incredibly distracting, you were not wearing a mask, and you were playing minesweeper. STAY. HOME. It is the FIRST week and nobody wants to catch your germs.

Hey everyone,

I am strongly considering attending UF or UC Davis for biomedical engineering. Can anybody who is current/past student and studied BME answer any of my questions?

Thank you!

Anyone have experience looking for salamanders/frogs/newts etc in hiking spots near here for fun? I love hiking and wanna get into herping. Also r there groups that go out and do this kind of stuff like even bird watching/looking for animals/reptiles in general?

hi i'm an incoming freshman, i'm majoring in stem but i really really wanna stay involved in music like i am in high school. i was thinking of sticking to concert band and/or jazz, but my band director is really pushing me to join the marching band at ucd. i wanted to know what the environment is like for all those groups, the auditioning process, your experiences, etc.

Hello everybody! I’m a Davis native (born and raised) and I am curious if anyone is looking for some experience in political campaigning? I know not many Davis students come out to vote in Davis elections, but I feel your voices should be heard!

If anyone’s interested in getting their feet wet in local politics or interested to learn more, leave a comment below and I’ll reach out to ya!

Just like the title says, got into davis and wondering the legal logistics of using the student parking as a safe area to "live" simply park and overnight park my vehical. It would be bonus of being close to campus and saving on extra living expenses. it would be my only vehicle (camper van or converted RV) so wouldn't it be covered by the parking pass or is their a rule agenst that? Also remeber hearing about a law that may pass of UC's having a designated parking area for those who live in their vehicle is there any news about when/if Davis parking area? Thank you so much for any info im trying to save as much as i can for post grad.

Just moved here to Sacramento from Georgia with my girlfriend with plans to attend graduate studies at UC Davis. Was wondering what are some good transport options for people commuting from Sacramento that I can also bring a bike on (as I've heard Davis is a very biking friendly campus). I could obviously just drive there but time (getting there early) and money (gas prices 😬) can definitely be a constraint at times. Thank y'all in advance for the advice!

This is for a HRE clinic:

- I paid about 50 dollars for a TB blood test

- I need to get a flu shot for flu season. The flu shot at UC Davis is 40 dollars. I am not sure if I could do it at CVS for 25 dollars.

I understand this is normal protocol, but is there any way I could be reimbursed for the money I will be paying for the requirements, at least the blood test and vaccine? I will also have to pay 25 dollars for an organization shirt + 25 dollars for background check.

My Subaru is about to hit 50k and I was wondering if anyone had any recs for car shops in Davis for preventative maintenance? I know some shops are picky towards Subarus so any recs from fellow subbies would be great 🥹

Hi, i got into UC Davis MPAC and im pretty anxious about it. My bachelor’s was in management and im honestly trying to do MPAC because job market is pretty rough. I took the refresher course on Coursera and i honestly feel like i have a hard time memorizing and retaining everything and worried if I will succeed in the program, especially the 3.2 GPA requirement. Is anyone else in the same boat? If anything I was considering something in accounts payable or something that wasnt heavy technical knowledge like tax or audit at an accounting firm although i know UC Davis MPAC is mainly trying to get students into those accounting firms in tax, audit, etc.. Makes me nervous for orientation and meeting accounting firms.
