Residential Academics

There are tons of ways to get experience and earn income as a student.

By Week 2, you’ve started settling into your classes, and now is a great time to build momentum outside the classroom. Finding a student job is one of the best ways to gain experience, stay engaged, and make the most of your time at UC Davis.

Still figuring out what you want to study? It's completely normal.

Thinking about housing options can be easier with the right resources.

As a second-year or continuing student, now is a good time to start thinking about where you want to live next year and what kind of housing best supports your lifestyle, budget, and academic needs. UC Davis offers a range of on-campus options, as well as a resource for off-campus housing options

As we approach the finish line of winter quarter, it is the perfect time to start "wintering forward." Whether you are looking for a summer internship, a job for next school year, or simply want to dive deeper into your major, UC Davis has the resources to help you take your next steps with confidence.

Welcome back, Aggies! As we settle into Week 1, this is the perfect time to explore new academic possibilities. Undergraduate research is one of the most exciting opportunities UC Davis has to offer. As an R1 research institution, we are nationally recognized for producing groundbreaking discoveries across all fields from STEM labs and environmental field studies to social science, creative arts, and the humanities.

The quarter is coming to an end, and it’s totally normal to feel a mix of stress, excitement, and pressure. Remember, you don’t have to handle it all on your own. This week, we’re focusing on taking care of your mental and emotional well-being while still preparing for a strong finish to the quarter.

Scared to talk to your professor? That’s okay, a lot of students feel that way at first. Keep reading to bust common myths and fears about talking to faculty, and learn how to make the best out of office hours!

Office hours are blocks of time that faculty set out to answer student questions about course materials, but it’s not limited to just class-related questions. Your professor is a great resource to go to for questions about future careers, research opportunities, and more!
