<p>I’ve been looking at housing options and I think I will definitely be renting off campus. Right now, the best option seems to be University Village Apartment Homes. I especially love that it has dryer/washer right in the apartment + all the other amenities. I looked up The Ramble and the Viridian in West Village and although they look fantastic in pictures, the reviews for them were pretty awful. </p>
<p>Are you currently at University Village Apartment Homes? If so, what are some of the pros and cons? How is the noise level? I’m a transfer student and is over the partying years so I really would like a quiet place where I can study. </p>
<p>Are there any other apartments around UCD that’s about the same price that you would recommend?</p>
<p>The Ramble/Viridian are really expensive, and kinda far from everything. There IS one negative to UV as well - its right by the train tracks. </p>
<p>Tanglewood is older, but run by the same people and it’s a little further from the train tracks There’s also a new apartment complex being built about a mile down the road (almost directly across the freeway/train tracks from UV) but it’s going to be noisy there too I bet. </p>
<p>You might want to check out the facebook UC Davis page. There’s always tons of people looking there for housing (If all else, try the transfer class of 2013 group :D)</p>
<p>If you’re looking at the off campus student apartments option, check out “the drake”. From the description they seem to be really quiet but also very nice, but they are also a bit expensive. But do take a look at all the off-campus student housing apartments! They are all really nice and all made fir different personalities and interests! You may also be interested in “the arbors” it’s a really nice, quiet looking gated community.</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as you, transfer student over the partying. I’ve seen a few places on craigslist that look decent but I’m getting the feeling that getting a one bedroom is a waste of money since the 2 bedrooms run for about the same. Maybe we could consider being housemates?</p>
