<p>Anyone else on the forums going?</p>
<p>I RSVP’d (?) for Friday. I think I’m going to be really excited to go to UCD after this…</p>
<p>I'm going on Saturday! :) Can't wait to see Davis for the first time.</p>
<p>This is just a reminder, if you haven't done so already, to RSVP for either Friday April 6 and 13 for freshman or Friday April 27 for transfer students. Please visit <a href="http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/welcome%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/welcome</a> to RSVP.</p>
<p>The Saturday April 7 event is over capacity. :(</p>
<p>I RSVP'd for the 6th. Hopefully the welcome will convince my friend to go to Davis instead of UCSD...</p>
<p>My dad and I are going tomorrow. I've already sent in my SIR to UCD. We will meet my brother, who is a JR at UCD, for lunch. I'm looking forward to seeing what the dorms look like.</p>
<p>the only day i can make is saturday and now its full!! =[</p>
<p>what happens if i just show up and walk around myself..?</p>
<p>I'm going to the saturday one... what time do you guys would be the best? As in, less crowds? I live about 2 hours away.</p>
<p>I'm going to the one on April 13th. :D</p>
<p>i'm going to tomorrow's welcome day.</p>
<p>right now i'm pretty set on going to UCI but i want to keep my options open and i want to check davis out.</p>
<p>I'm going Friday (today). :)</p>
<p>Already pretty set on UCD.</p>
<p>I would highly advise taking a tour of campus, because if you just wander around you'll miss a lot!</p>

<p>I got to campus this morning at 8:30 am & didn't realize it the welcome week thing was today until I was trying to find a parking space. Urrg. I had to park all the way on the 5th floor of the West Entry parking structure & was lucky to even get a spot at all. At 8:30 am!?! Insanity.. I normally get a spot on the 3rd floor without a problem at that time.</p>
<p>lol @ pearl.</p>
<p>I just got back. The campus is massive... soo much walking. But I love it there. I'm gonna have a tough time deciding.</p>
<p>Hey cbf88, about how many people do you estimate showed up to the UC Davis Welcome event today? Was it really crowded? </p>
<p>Also, was it easy to get tickets to the walking tours?</p>
<p>It's hard for me to estimate how many people showed up since they stagger all the tours. I arrived at 9:45am and finished by 2pm, but there were still many people arriving even then. </p>
<p>It was easy getting tickets for everything. The time window for the welcome event is large enough that there's never a <em>huge</em> crowd of people at once. </p>
<p>With that said, though, the walking tours each had about 30 people in them, and I if I remember correctly there were about 6 tour groups at any one time.</p>
<p>I arrived at 12:00 and left at 4:00. Both of the tours were pretty informative and insightful; I recommend them. Campus was really awesome; it was really big and spacious and had nice grassy areas. Looked euphoric, the students just laying on the grass reading and typing. I was extremely surprised by all the trees in Davis; I kinda envisioned the place a little less shaded, but there are a ton of trees. Also a bazillion bikes, definitely need to buy a bike before I attend. Dorms looked OK; I toured Segundo. Kinda hot weather, it was in the mid 80s.</p>
<p>It wasn't crowded at all when I arrived. I'm sure the place will be mobbed tomorrow, though.</p>
<p>UCD is beautiful and doesn't resemble a huge marble laden business park like some other Universities. ;)</p>
