Hostel:

My first year I lived on-campus and that was very convenient. My current and final year I am staying off-campus which is also convenient but my lease is expiring before my classes are over in the summer so I do not know where I will be staying for the two weeks.

Close to home, a good program for my major, well known, liberal. It is also a beautiful campus that is easy in terms of transportation if you have a bike. The whole campus is built to make biking easy.

It was close to home and affordable because I got a merit scholarship. Also, it is a great school so I would have great opportunities for my career in the future. I also believe the accounting program is one of the best.

Hostel:

I lived in the dorms my first year, which was fine, though the room was very small for three people. The dining commons provided good food so I appreciated that aspect. In my second and third years, I've been off-campus in apartments. It's been better, I like having a room to myself.

The distance from home and the quality of education were enticing, so I opted to go here over my other options, which would either have been further or less quality. I think the economics program is one of the top 20 in the country, so it made my decision easier.

The prestige of the school and location. I liked that it was relatively close to home for me, and my high school pushed for students to go to the most prestigious school they could get into. For me, that was UC Davis.

Hostel:

I have lived in student apartments during my time at UC Davis. Due to costs being high, I have always opted to share a room with another girl. This helps bring down renting costs and allows me to meet new people each year.

I chose UC Davis because it is 1.5 hours away from home, has good bachelors programs and I was awarded a full ride scholarship to attend UC Davis. I like how the campus is very scenic, has a welcoming vibe and all are very friendly.
