Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I had a good experience living with 3 roommates. On campus housing in Davis is only for 1st year students. Most appartment complexes are very well equiped and mostly students live there.

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I think it is a great business school since it is very small. All students know each other and even the Professors know all students by name. Also the social life is good, even though Davis is a small city and you will end up going to the same places over and over again.
