UC Davis is a highly-regarded public research university located in Northern California that is known for its exceptional academic programs and research opportunities. As with any college experience, where a student lives plays a significant role in shaping their experience at UC Davis.
UC Davis offers a variety of dormitories for its students, each with its unique features and amenities. Here are the top 5 dorms at UC Davis:
1. Bixby Hall
Bixby Hall was built in 1960 and is named after Fred Hathaway Bixby (1875-1952). A graduate of UC Berkeley, Mr. Bixby was a rancher and livestock breeder and established the Bixby Ranch Company in the Long Beach area in 1926. A few years before his death, Mr. Bixby endowed a program with a generous sum to make certain that agricultural graduates from the Davis campus would have an opportunity to go out into the world with practical farm skills as well as knowledge.
