Segundo, Tercero, Cuarto?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Davis

<p>Since everyone is asking, I decided to look up the advantages of each Housing Area.
([UC</a> Davis Student Housing: Residence Halls](<a href=“http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/housing/residence_halls.asp]UC”>Residence Halls | UC Davis Student Housing and Dining Services))</p>

<p>"Advantages of the Segundo Area</p>

<p>Adjacent to the Activities and Recreation Center (The ARC)
Near the Cowell Student Health Center
Close proximity to the Recreation Pool, and basketball and tennis courts
Sports fields are located nearby
Short walk to several campus computer labs
The Bookstore, Memorial Union, and Quad are a short walk or bike ride away
Closest of the three residence hall areas to most plant science, enology, math, psychology and social science and humanities buildings
Several acres of manicured lawns and shade trees
Very close proximity to community shopping</p>

<p>Advantages of the Tercero Area</p>

<p>Close to engineering, chemistry, physics, biology and avian science facilities
Short walk to several campus computer labs
Close proximity to central campus, including the Shields Library
Adjacent to the Arboretum’s many trails, plants, birds and waterways
The Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) and the Recreation pool are a short bike ride away
The Silo and its dining options, including the Silo Pub, are two blocks away</p>

<p>Advantages of the Cuarto Area</p>

<p>On site swimming pools and spas
The only secure (fenced and gated) bike parking lot in the residence halls is located at Thoreau Hall
Two dining commons buildings
Two computer center locations
Private, outdoor courtyards
Off-campus location may help manage stress by creating a bit of separation between “going to class” and “being at home” rather than living next door to classes
Close proximity to campus, and even closer proximity to community shopping
The Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) and the Recreation Pool are a short bike ride away"</p>

<p>So which are you deciding to choose?
I’m edging towards Tercero, but I hear it “smells like cow” or Segundo North
And for current UC Davis students, feel free to add in your 2 cents~</p>

<p>I’ve decided on segundo. Now I’m just worried about finding a cool roomie.</p>

3

<p>^ yeah me too! Segundo… im actually trying to find someone too -_-</p>

4

<p>Hmmmmm. Are you cool? Haha.</p>

5

<p>I think I’m getting a single at Tercero. Can any current students share their experiences with living in a single or what they’ve heard about singles (particularly about Lysle Leach)?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>you don’t get to choose which segundo btw. (since you said ‘or segundo north’)
people who choose segundo have to rely on luck. Segundo north buildings are mostly triples (I’m in one of the buildings as a double.) There are doubles too. Then there are the high risers which I think are going to be renovated soon. Then there is reagan. You dont get to choose which segundo area you live in =(</p>

<p>So I don’t know how well this works but if you want to live in Segundo North specifically Alder I know you can request to live in the African American theme housing . My friend did this simply because he wanted to live in the nicer/newer dorms, just thought I’d through that out there. He also only had to live in a double.</p>

<p>aw boo~</p>

<p>tercero and segundo look nice ;p</p>

<p>@shaday101, im hella cool. you don’t even know! lol
how about you?</p>

<p>african american theme is in Alder Level 2 this year, not sure if its there every year though. And you might stand out if you live in African American theme, if you are not black that is.</p>

11

<p>Haha. I’m a nice person with a great sense of humor. And I’m very undrstanding and accepting. But I’m brutally honest, messy, and lazy. I also want to party way more than I should. Other than that, I think I’d be a great roommate!</p>

<p>“african american theme is in Alder Level 2 this year, not sure if its there every year though. And you might stand out if you live in African American theme, if you are not black that is.”</p>

14

<p>It’s alright. I also happen to be a girl.</p>

15

<p>whoa really??</p>

<p>hahaha me too~</p>

<p>wow, shadey i pictured you as a boy !

16

<p>@shaday101, lol I thought you were a guy too! haha.</p>

17

<p>Haha, I was thinking those top three choices too! I’m also looking for a roommate who isn’t evil or manipulative (my brother had terrible experiences with his), but really chill to either go hang out with or talk at the end of a long day, and considerate when I need to study. Majoring in Biology.</p>

<p>Haha. None taken. I’m sure some people on CC think so, especially because of the name. Haha. I’m very obviously a girl though.</p>
