Question about Dorms

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Davis

<p>So, can anyone give me a description about what to expect from each dorm? I don’t mean the look or style, but more of the people/what happens in each one. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>The overall consensus is that Segundo is superior to all three dorms.

  1. It is not as ‘boring’ as tercero, the layout procures more interaction maybe?
  2. Best dining commons by far, although it is ridiculously crowded at times (during a Harry Potter themed dinner, my friend had to eat standing up for like 15min because there were no seats available).
  3. Relatively close to classes</p>

<p>I actually like Cuarto because the quad style offers a community bathroom that is shared by only a couple rooms instead of the floor shared bathrooms in the other two dorms. I live in Tercero and I like it though because

  1. Very close to classes
  2. The people. It really is what you make of it and I found I still have a lot of fun regardless of dorm style, you just get used to each dorm anyways so it’s not a big deal.
  3. From my experience, most people in Tercero are studious and not as much in the all-time ‘fun’ mode found in Cuarto and Segundo( a generalization I know).
    it’s up to you what you are really looking for in dorm life I guess.</p>

<p>all that matters, regardless of what dorm you live in, are the people.</p>

<p>but i live in segundo and i love it because my classes are all less than 10 minutes away on foot :D</p>

<p>but, i have friends in both tercero and cuarto, and they always come over here to hang out, except for sometimes when we go to tercero bc theres a pool table…</p>

<p>Cuarto’s dining commons is getting a huge remodel right now. It will be ready for next year’s incoming class. I imagine it will be very nice. :)</p>

<p>My s is in Tercero and he is very happy there.</p>

<p>mmmm i heard that cuarto’s oxford DC will not open until winter of next year^
the castilian DC in cuarto will remain open, but its normal schedule is to close on the weekends.</p>

<p>both the segundo and tercero DC’s are very nice. they were both recently remodeled. (2005ish) [Tercero</a> Dining Commons - Davis Wiki](<a href=“http://daviswiki.org/Tercero_Dining_Commons]Tercero”>http://daviswiki.org/Tercero_Dining_Commons)</p>
