12pm at the MU patio there was a Deportation Teach Out! Anyone see it? I was one of the five people kneeling wearing a sign... They gave me the one that said, 'Deportable for Urinating in Public' out of all things. =P


I didn't see it but I was in the area over at Freeborn donating blood and heard all the people outside. Got my free t-shirt. LOL. Now I need to go back to studying for my chem midterm tomorrow....

No. There are some courses that you have to take in Man. Econ that you don't have to take in regular Econ. Other than that, they're somewhat similar. For Managerial Economics major requirements, go here:

http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog.../meconreqt.html

you can compare them alongside the econ website and you'd know the difference.

Ooh, I heard there was a line to donate. Nice... I think last year they gave out ice cream for Baskin Robbins. Gluck with your midterm!!

i'm planning to go to davis but i haven't submitted my SIR yet. my major is going to be computer engineering but iono if its right for me, what classes do i need to take. i want to know more detail about this major please :]

do you really need to have a bike? my friends keep saying i do but iono if i'd want to bring one. and is it true that you have to pay more for a suite with 4 people and how much more? what is there to do in davis since they say its " in the middle of nowhere". my family and i are planning to visit tomorrow because i didnt get to go to picnic day.


you don't need a bike, but it's def. recommended since the campus is really big.

i'm not sure if u have to pay more for a suite, but you do get your own living room and 2 bathrooms compared to if you dorm in a building in which you would have to share the lounge with everyone and the bathroom with everyone on that floor.

there's not much to do in davis actually, but we're by sac and vacaville.

does anyone know what the average graduation time is? I mean like how long does it take for the majority of the undergraduates to graduate?
Can most people graduate in 4 years? or does it take a little longer, like another quarter

^ sweatingbullets.gif OMG, you must have seen my horrible mistake. ph34r.gif
I was one of the cultural dancers there. GEEEeee. I felt horrible after messing up the dance.
But.. I had so much spirit that day, i was in the teach-out "rally" on the way across the quad too.
And yes, i saw all those signs. On the way to the MU, i was holding a sign in viet or thai.. I wasn't sure myself.
But it was an awesome experience!! wink.gif

And.. i'm actually minoring in ManEc. >__< Currently working on my math portion though.

How long it takes to graduate depends on several factors like the major you have, classes available to you each quarter, whether or not you pass required classes, how many units you average each quarter, etc...

For the most part, liberal arts/social science majors graduate in 4. A lot of people are either 4 and one quarter or 5 years if they're in a science/engineering major.

Generally, I hear from people that go to Davis that it's REALLY REALLY boring up there, because it's supposedly in the
middle of nowhere and there isn't much to do(besides tipping cows?). lol.
I got accepted as a transfer, and I'm not very good with an extremely boring lifestyle. I'm all up for joining clubs and stuff
to get my social life going, but I'm not sure if that's enough to keep me busy enough to keep me from getting homesick. since i love home smile.gif
For those of you who go there, is it really THAT boring? 0_0 are there any good malls, hangout spots, coffee shops.. etc?

also does anyone know anything about the interior design major there? because It sounds really appealing to me. is it any good?

Are you serious?! You guys were amazing! I couldn't tell if anyone made any mistakes, I don't think the crowd could either. Don't sweat it, the dance was fantastic. Did you hear the spoken word performances? Crazy mad, but it was a lot of fun.

lilaznhunnie- in my opinion, college is what you make it. u can go to UCLA, Berkeley, Yale, etc. whatever and still be "boring" if all u do is study and don't socialize; clubs, extracurriculars, internships, etc.. will definitely keep u busy. If you have a car, Sac is an easy 20 minute drive away, along with Vacaville. Driving into SF is about 50 minutes to an hour and Oakland/Richmond 45-50 minutes. I'm also from Los Angeles and I love home too. I'm super close with my parents and love LA life...but I loved my four years here in Davis nevertheless. A part of me will definitely miss the small town life and the convenience of everything being close by. And of course, the friends =)

My cousin graduated from the interior design program here. She opted for Davis over Cal since she wanted the design program that badly. Now she's working for a design firm in SF.

Anywhere can be boring. As long as you the right group of people with you, just hanging out at the MU can be fun. ;D

LOL. ^ thanks for the info... I finally found out the problem. It turns out that I would have to Decline STEP before I could do anything. SO yeah, I declined step and am now trying to register for orientation... but dang the prices are hefty.

Yea, like I said, I'm willing to join the clubs and go out and make the friends but I'm just concerned about the things we can do around davis to be more specific. haha~ I think I'm definitely gonna need to bring the car though smile.gif
