I chose UC Davis for its strategic location near the Bay Area, which offers excellent access to industry connections and career opportunities. The program’s small cohort size was also a key factor, as it fosters a close-knit community and enables meaningful relationships with professors, fellow students and alumni.

These elements together create an ideal environment for both academic growth and professional networking.
