UC Davis College Dorm Tour: On-campus Housing at UC Davis Tercero

[@shreypatel9379]

Idk how to explain it but she looks and sounds very kind

[@XSemperIdem5]

Is your calendar with the adorable little sheep from Edgar's Mission? Your little sloth hair tools holder is so cute. And that slide out tray thing on the desk looks so convenient for when you need some extra space.

[@Jess.Michelle]

I received the calendar as a gift, so I am not quite sure. Yes the desks in the Tercero dorms that I was in offered a lot of storage space! :)

[@kaitlyng7850]

Sooo lucky you got a triple to yourself!!! I’m going to UC Davis in the fall and may have a triple with 2 other people yikesss I’d rather have double or single but like I can’t really choose too much because there are so many triples and so few singles. Edit: love video btw :D

[@bananiiiiii]

yeah me too ;-; and im super bummed bc neither of my roommates are responding to me :,(

[@kaitlyng7850]

@@bananiiiiii oh nooo! Thanks for reminding me actually-- I have to email my roommate too. I'm staying in Bixby Hall in Segundo on the fifth floor. Probably good because the view but also sucks because a bunch of stairs and the elevators get packed. What dorm are you staying in?

[@johncha00]

Wowow another great video!

[@princesshicks8927]

can you pls make a video about the housing application bc that shit be confusing???

[@iamclancy]

Omg I just got assigned to mahogany too

[@antoniodelgado8043]

omg me too!!

[@raniaalnamrouti9674]

thank you for this! It was so helpful :)

[@ddanajjo]

how do you like that printer? was looking at it for when I start dorming. and tysm for the video!

[@Jess.Michelle]

For me personally, I don’t particularly like the printer. It’s nice to have a printer, but mine seems to run out of ink super fast and doesn’t always print super clear.

[@HT-pl8du]

How did u attach the mirror to the door? It doesn't come with the room right?

[@Jess.Michelle]

The mirror was already there when I moved in :)

[@thaitoan4760]

How is that possible to have your own triple room?? :((

[@user-fo3wu9xc5g]

only because of covid last year - because of health concerns everyone got their own room if they were staying on campus (it’s different thus year though so triples will be three people)

[@kavinpandian]

hey just wanted to know how you get food lol now that the DCs have been closed due to covid

[@Jess.Michelle]

The dc had a “grab and go” model this year (2020-21). I was still able to get food from the dc just in the form of takeout!

[@kavinpandian]

@@Jess.Michelle oh okay thanks!

[@bananiiiiii]

I think they said the dc's will be open this year :)

[@derricktan132]

Hi Jess, I just got accepted by both UCI and UCD. Can I ask u some questions as I'm trying to decide which school would be the better fit for me. Btw my major is environmental science

[@Jess.Michelle]

Hello! I don’t have any information regarding UCI, but I could try to answer some questions about my experience at davis :)

[@derricktan132]

@@Jess.Michelleis there any ski resort near ucd? How long is the winter in California

[@tiannaong8215]

Where’s the mirror from???

[@Jess.Michelle]

I think the mirror on the desk is from Costco! The one on the back of the door came with the dorm :)

[@ady6680]

where's your shower caddy from? also do you need to pay to do laundry?

[@Jess.Michelle]

The shower caddy is from Target! When I was in the dorms the washer cost $1.50 per load and the dryer was $1.25 but idk if they’ll change it :)

[@ady6680]

@@Jess.Michelle thank you! also do we get a week off Thanksgiving or is it just the 2 days? I noticed the academic calendar only shows the 2 major dates

[@Jess.Michelle]

@@ady6680 Last year, ‘20-‘21, we only got two days off for Thanksgiving, the Thursday and Friday. I’m guessing it will probably be the same this year! :)

[@ady6680]

@@Jess.Michelle did you still have classes that week Monday-Wednesday? and was Winter break the same? Sorry for buggin sm I'm an incoming freshmen and just trying to figure out the schedule!

[@Jess.Michelle]

@@ady6680 For the week of Thanksgiving I still had classes Monday-Wednesday. But for winter break I had full two weeks off last year :)

[@keeratkaur1499]

They don't give you a fridge?!?!?

[@Jess.Michelle]

The dorm room does not come with a fridge or microwave. You can bring your own (maybe have one roomate bring the fridge and the other the microwave, for example). You can also rent a mini fridge from ASUCD. Some of the dorm buildings have a community kitchen on the first floor with a fridge, but the whole building has access to it. Also some buildings don’t have kitchens (my hall didn’t have a kitchen so I would have had to go in the building next to mine to access the fridge/kitchen). :)

[@iamclancy]

So does mahogany actually smell like cows

[@Jess.Michelle]

Sometimes outside the hall smells a little since the cows are right across the street, but it’s not too bad! :)
