What advice would you give to someone coming to Davis as a Freshman or Transfer? As someone who attended UC Davis for all four years, my advice to anyone coming in would be to get out of your comfort zone and explore all that the university and the city of Davis has to offer. It may be scary at first, especially if you don’t know anybody, the end result is worth it.

What do you like to do in your spare time? I’m constantly trying to find ways to be more involved in local nonprofit organizations.
