I chose to attend UC Davis for two main reasons. The first was after I spoke to several people who had either attended or were attending, I learned that they all had the same things to say, "The education is great, but the people and the tight-knit family community is what sets this place apart." After having been enrolled in the program for one year, I can confirm that the previous statement is true. At Davis, you are more than just a student to attend class; you are part of a larger family where you always learn from each other's past experiences.

The second reason I chose UC Davis is because of the school's great reputation for a top-notch education (also true) and being very veteran-friendly. Combining all those things has made my experience at UC Davis truly outstanding.
