Dorms

<p>Do all of the dormitory buildings have singles and how hard is it to get in? I’ve been curious for a long time - Do you have a bathroom in your dorm or do you have to share it with your entire floor? If you share it with your entire floor, how does that work? Last question, are the beds bunks or singles?</p>

<p>I believe you have to share it with couple of people (go check on their housing website). It could be your entire floor or just some people, depending on where you’re going to end up living.</p>

<p>Yes, it is hard to get it. Lottery process -_-</p>

<p>I just visited the UC Davis dorms yesterday (in particular the Thomson Hall) along with my niece who was recently accepted at UC Davis. All the rooms were doubles or triples (mostly doubles), but the way the bathrooms work is that there is one for every four rooms–meaning one for every eight people. Each bathrom has two to three stalls, plus one shower, plus three sinks.</p>

<p>There is a separate lounge for each floor (meaning for each 24 people or so), plus a gigantic main lounge, a kitchen, and a laundry, plus a music practice room–all on the main (bottom) floor. </p>

<p>In talking to the five guys we ran across while there, they all enjoyed being at UC Davis, they said bicycles are a must to get around the large, spread out school–and the experience has been great for all of them so far. The level of study required was significant, but not overbearing.</p>

<p>I also visited the town as well (had been there before) which is quite upscale, with lots of restaurants and small shops and lots of trees and greenbelt areas throughout the town.</p>

<p>For those who are not familiar with Davis, it is on a flat area just 15 miles west of Sacramento, California’s capital. Sacramento is a city of about 1/2 million people, and a metropolitan population of about 2 million, and has been growing by about 1/2 million (metro area) every 10 years.</p>

<p>I believe the Segundo North buildings were meant for doubles, but depending on the size of the entering class they will covert some rooms (like mine!) into triples - one bunk bed, one single bed. For doubles, you’ll each get your own bed. They’re all lofted though, so you could loft yours up higher for more space underneath–I know some people who loft their beds up really high so that they can fit their desk there.</p>

<p>Some buildings have singles. If you’re going for that, you’ll probably get it. But for the most part, rooms are primarily shared with other people.</p>

<p>Bathrooms are shared. The number of people you share with will depend on the building. For example, in my building, there’s one bathroom every four rooms, with two toilets, two shower stalls, and three sinks, whereas in the high rises, there’s one huuuuge bathroom for the entire floor with multiple toilets/showers/sinks. In Cuarto, your suite gets its own bathroom, but I think your and your suitemates would be responsible for keeping the bathroom clean since maintenance workers aren’t living with you.</p>
