Student Life
After class, students can enjoy a wide variety of activities-from hanging out with friends at an outdoor café to joining other UC Davis students for campus lectures or recreational activities. They can also go to the fantastic fitness center at the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC), work with glass or create ceramics at the Craft Center, join the Experimental College and other organizations for international activities. On campus and in town, students can also enjoy rock-climbing, dancing, bicycling, golf, tennis, racquetball, jogging, hiking, swimming at the campus pool, aerobics classes, weight training, martial arts, bowling, etc. They can even learn to ride a horse! In the evening, students can go dancing and attend musical performances, the cinema and sporting events such as UC Davis and professional basketball, football, baseball and soccer games. Attending the local Sacramento Kings NBA basketball games is a highlight for students. In addition, students can take short trips to visit historic and scenic sites throughout the state. There's something for everyone-experience California at its best!
