Which On Campus Housing Should YOU Choose at UC Davis?

I’ve had quite a few people asking me to compare the different on campus housing at UC Davis and I’ve done a dorm tour ( • A UC Davis Dorm Tour ) and I did a brief housing comparison back in the day ( • the VLOG is BACK + UC ... ) but you asked and I will deliver!
For this comparison I focused on the differences of the locations, how and why I like each due to it’s proximity to off campus things, and a few other UC Davis housing tid bits here and there.
Also if you want a look inside of all the housing rooms (not just Tercero) check out this video! ( • On Campus Housing at U... )
New intro!? Heck yeah! Shout out to Kat's Cats (aka Kat my gf) for filming it! bit.ly/KatsCatsYT
Okay that's all for now!

I'm so impressed how you can talk clearly without panting while riding a frickin bike for a long time😲

[@eunbears]

This was super helpful ((: thanks for answering one of the top questions I had about davis haha

[@samdaou2082]

Awesome Video man, Super helpful thank you

[@Evan_Adams]

Video on new ARC remodel please. I'm an alum and helped build it. Would love to see how it turned out. Looking forward to Picnic Day this year!

[@jc0lin]

I just found out I’m in Laben Hall for this fall!!!! So cool!

[@sandytrang6073]

Thanks for sharing

[@estherti2855]

I'm gonna guess the entire bike ride was roughly 15 minutes? Getting around on my bike would have taken me at least 20 minutes, since my wheels are 24" (maybe more like 25 minutes because I always get lost around the Segundo/ARC area?). Also, props to you filming while biking! I can barely bike with a cup of coffee in one hand!

[@gracemun8207]

I've finally decided to go to ucd!! Your videos were all helpful. I wouldn't have chose davis without ur videos. Thanks!! Do all the dorms have same price? and would you say you definitely need a bike to live in cuarto? how are the guy and girl's dorm divided? different building or diff. floor? i hope it's not in the same floor...

[@natsukikato7294]

thank you so much! i needed this! do you choose the dorms after requesting roommates? because Ive done the housing application but didnt have the option to choose dorms....

[@Niknamew]

SICK!

[@terilyndo]

Another super helpful video, really appreciate them, from when I was applying until now! Was wondering if you used roomsync/Facebook groups or random to find roommates? Which method would you recommend, from personal experience or stories?

[@terilyndo]

@@craving2create thank you so much! I'm introverted as well so it's nice to hear it from your perspective!

[@Ghostslack]

I want a fast bike like yours, can you show us what brand it is and what's the best way to get a good, used, fast bike? Better yet, can you do a video about biking on UCD campus (theft prevention/how many bike locks needed/do you keep your bike inside the dorm...). thank you.

[@bernadettefreeman-anaya1526]

Hi! I’m going to davis in the fall and I got tercero and laben hall! Do you know if each floor has a kitchen or if it’s just designated for one floor?

[@estefaniaflores8415]

Were you in the Monterey Bag aquarium last weekend?? I legit feel like I saw you there but didn’t get a chance to say hi. :/

[@1Dnerdforever]

"Laben", the best building 😂

[@kman7681]

Hoping I get accepted🤞

[@MarkSmithhhh]

I lived in Webster in cuarto and I loved it...if was literally an apartment and not a dorm...It was great...the food was incredible and it was always empty

[@emilyzavala7215]

did u get to choose ur suitemates?

[@monicachandra8726]

I applied for housing but it didn't ask me if my roommate and I want tercero, segundo, or cuarto.

[@runlanzeng8079]

A great video! I would like to know about the entertainment. Is that every campus housing has music room and piano?

[@maggiemay8303]

Since they are tearing down cuarto Emerson after this quarter they will actually no longer have suite style! Cuarto Thuro (or however you spell it) will be renamed and only for second year students next year!

[@maggiemay8303]

The new building, from what the RAs have told me will not be suite style. I know I sound really confusing haha

[@MarkSmithhhh]

What about Webster?

[@samcrooks9216]

Where/what time is your meetup?

[@michaeln4767]

If I live in SoCal, is there an easy way to transport my bike back home like via checking it in at the airport? (anything but biking all the way back home lol)

[@LuisRomero-kr7is]

did you end up finding a way out? lol im thinking the same thing for the upcoming year

[@Accnews_]

How about the food?

[@zachorozco5491]

so hypothetically, let’s say if i lived in segundo.. would i be able to eat at the tercero dc too?

[@concordea]

Is dorming compulsory for freshmen? What is the process like + finding roommate (e.g. first-come-first-serve, randomnise, vote)?

[@concordea]

@@craving2create Thank you for answering!

[@nataliemedina5090]

I’m going to Davis in the fall and I plan to live in cuarto because of the bathroom preference. Any bike suggestions? Like which ones do u recommend? Should I get one used ? Any good brands/types?

[@nataliemedina5090]

Alex Fisher-Wagner thanks for tip of avoiding Walmart 😂 and no I’m not a cyclist and thanks for your advice as I was leaning towards a fixie :). Also your videos made me want to come to Davis so thanks for that

[@citlallicastellon7008]

Since you are filming I am going to guess that it took you about 45 mins or more

[@leanna.6410]

i expected tours :(

[@sandratansil980]

As a freshman, can you choose to live in Tercero?

[@ulayla1605]

Alex Fisher-Wagner awww dang it, I'm coming as a freshmen and I really wanted to do tercero😂😂😂
