<p>Oh, now Davis looks good huh? Ha! if you go on their website you should be able to look at majors and it will tell you something about which ones are impacted. That’s where I did TAG. I don’t want to go to SB but they’re the only ones I’ve heard from so far.</p>
<p>^^ Actually, I can’t find anything on their website. I did find this although I don’t know how reliable it is.</p>
<p>I stole it from GradSchool0923…it’s from 2010</p>
<p>Here is the list of impacted majors at each UC school according to Professor of Education Kim Kwang Il from Yonsei University in Korea. This was actually designed for Korean students who want to go study abroad in America. The professor has compared each major from both U.S. News Rankings and NRC rankings. (Both Graduate and Undergraduate) Each grade A + + (approximately top 5), A + (within top 15), A (approximately top 30), A-/ B + (approximately top 50 or less) represents how impacted each major is. However, this type of evaluation will always be arbitrary and inaccurate. So, there might be quite a number of people who disagree with this evaluation. So, I actually recommend you to see the rankings from other websites as well when choosing school according to your major.</p>

<p>^^ Cool thanks. Looks like communications is not impacted at Davis, but it was impacted for SB but I got accepted. Hopefully that is a good sign. =]</p>
<p>@Skeptic51 You said u got accepted to UC DAVIS? are u a junior transfer with tag for ur particular major or just a regular applicant? thanks.</p>
<p>@ min520: Did you read Skeptic51’s next post? It says that he/she was kidding.</p>
<p>Btw, has anyone visited the campus or is familiar with the city of Davis?</p>
<p>@ iDizzle: I’m a current student at UCD. Davis is pretty small and everything’s within biking distance (although some people aren’t willing to bike 4-5 miles to Target and would rather drive there or take the bus). Downtown is a fun place to visit on weekends and since it’s pretty small (not to mention the street names in downtown Davis go from A to G and the cross-streets go from 1st to 5th), it’s easy NOT to get lost.</p>
<p>@ sopranokitty: Oh wow, thanks! Yes, I was looking at apts on craiglist and they are sooo CHEAP! Thanks for the info, maybe a small town atmosphere might be nice for a change =]</p>
<p>And yes I have read a lot about Davis’ bike roads etc. sounds great!</p>
<p>Oh and how do you like the school? =]</p>
<p>@iDizzle - Looks like we’ve got our school priorities somewhat the same, except I TAGed to Davis =p. I think for me, atm, Davis and SB are are tied at the top (I’m not banking on Cal or LA) while SD is at a close second. I have a friend who’ll be graduating from SD this summer who’s told me it’s a bit dull, even with the beautiful La Jolla beaches right there. I think I’ll like the small, college town feel, too! More close knit, and the biking must be fun =D. Maybe I’ll see you at Davis? =o</p>
<p>@min520 I did TAG for communications. Junior transfer accepted to UCSB waiting for word on all others and my TAG is for Davis.</p>
<p>@shortsuf I moved up to Berkeley from SD and I can tell you that after living there for five years it SUCKED. I feel the same about Berkeley though. I went to Davis the other day and although it is small I think it will be alright. I like riding my bike and they have street lights set up specifically for bikes…that was funny.</p>
<p>@skeptic51 - Thanks for the input, mate! Said friend also mentioned that you’ll get sick of eating Mexican food in a few weeks, no matter how good, lol. Street lights for bikers only? Sweet! lol. I should probably go visit soon… ._.</p>
<p>Still waiting…</p>
<p>I’m planning on transferring to UC-Davis as a Psychology major, and even though I signed a TAG with Davis, I’m still a little anxious just to get the official decision so I can start planning for next semester! 
How are you guys coping with the whole waiting process?</p>
<p>@iDizzle
Yes, I attended Transfer Day at Davis in the Fall…and it was actually really nice. They gave walking tours every hour or so, and had a bunch of different lectures you could attend that included information about financial aid, picking classes, and information for transfer students. It was actually really helpful, and made me fall in love with the campus!
I had been to the campus a few times before (friends’ graduations and such) but it was nice seeing it with a group of people who didn’t know where they were going…with funny student tour guides. :)</p>
<p>@shortstuf: Yes definetly!..if I get in. lol. Yeah I used to frequent UCSD, UCLA, UCR and UCI very often and there all nice places(except Riverside). SD is not too bad but I think I do kind of want the small town feel for a bit, even if I don’t like it, its only for 2 years. SB was actually a good choice too but my gf is graduating this fall and she said there aren’t much job opportunities in her field in SB. So we came to a compromise and it turns out there are lots of job opportunities for her next door in Sacramento. </p>
<p>@ Skeptic: You are a communications major?</p>
<p>@MsPsychMajor: Thanks for the info! I read something about Davis’ new recreational facility. Looks great from what I could see in the pictures. I’m planning on taking some fun phys ed type classes when I transfer. My little bro is taking jeet kune do and muay thai at UCLA for some easy credits this quarter, sounds like fun. LOL!</p>
<p>So today I looked at the assist.org requirements for Davis’ Communications major and there is a Linguistics course that is not offered at my school. I also read the top of the page and it says that Communications is a selective major. Is anyone else a Communications major and have you guys finished all the prereqs?</p>
<p>Like I said before, I never had any interest in Davis until this week and I’m lucky that I “coincidentally” finished all the prereqs for Davis while taking them for other UCs. However, I am missing that Linguistics course that is not offered. I hope it doesn’t mean I’m out of the running if the major is impacted. My gpa isn’t great, only 3.49 and I didn’t TAG either =[</p>
<p>Hey guys, can anyone tell me about the on campus housing for transfer students? I’ve heard about Primero Grove, nut I’m not entirely sure. Where is it located on campus? Is it more expensive than regular freshman dorms? Any information is appreciated.</p>
<p>@ cindylu: Yes, Primero Grove is located on campus–in fact, it’s near the Segundo housing area! (on [this</a> map](<a href=“http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/__images/maps/move_in/ryerson.jpg]this”>http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/__images/maps/move_in/ryerson.jpg), Primero Grove consists of the buildings Spruce, Magnolia, and Manzanita) 
Primero Grove has 3 of their buildings leased out to be used as dorms (as shown on the map–the other buildings in the Primero Grove area, that is, the buildings inbetween Spruce, Magnolia, and Manzanita, that do NOT have names are not part of Student Housing), so it’s the same price as the regular freshmen dorms. </p>
![http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/__images/maps/move_in/ryerson.jpg]this](http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/__images/maps/move_in/ryerson.jpg%5Dthis){kind=link}
<p>(btw, the 2012-2013 year is the FIRST time Primero Grove is going to be for transfer students, and maybe some freshmen. This year, Webster Hall and Emerson Hall in Cuarto are the transfer dorms)</p>
<p>Thanks, sopranokitty. Have you transfered to Davis? If so, how was your experience in the dorm and on campus in general?</p>
