I was the only one who got on one of the JX trips earlier today. It felt a lil eerie, can't lie, but man it was worth the trip home only being 7 minutes instead of the usual 15.

Hey everyone, I compiled lectures, notes and practice exams for some of the popular math classes.

Support kdvs! Download an open source radio app and start streaming immediately!

Recently I discovered open source radio apps like radio Droid or transistor. I have to confess getting away from Spotify and streaming services and listening to human ran radio again makes life feel a lot better! I feel like streaming services have really harmed us, please support our local radio station! Please support all college radio stations! If you download the Open source radio apps please search up different college radio stations including ours and start listening to them!

If you have any recommendations please list them! Almost every college has its own radio station and we should really support this here's my current list I have a blend of college radio stations and anarchist-based radio stations

I'm trying to look for a link for a radio Berlin which is the anarchist radio station in Berlin so I can listen to what's happening about the European riots but I can't find a link

Anyways please support kdvs

hi if you found a black sony digital camera at g street (10/23) please message me!! dont even need the camera back but at least please return to me the sd card 😭

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any Fall '26 commencement extra tickets! I'm graduating this Fall and I have 12 siblings... so fair to say 6 tickets is making a hard decision currently. If yes, please let me know!! Thank you for reading.

If you know a person named Emre who (maybe) goes to UC Davis, I found that persons AirPods. I found them near UCD so I am guessing Emre may be a student. Send me a msg if you know Emre.

Asking for a friend :)

So so worried about getting a job post grad as a junior in human development any advice ?

I hate you all. Got a ticket for my FIRST time forgetting to pay. I hope my $20 get you the sandwich you desperately need.

Also kinda freaky how they take pictures of every single angle for your car, feels a little invasive.

A warning for students and people involved in the local music scene.
I feel it is important to bring awareness to certain behavior involving an individual who is both a student and a musician in this community. A musician involved in an altercation following the couch party held by the California Aggie held last fall.
Behind the public image this person presents, there have been experiences involving abusive behavior and physical assault. I don’t believe anyone should have to navigate situations like this without being aware of potential safety concerns, especially in environments where students and musicians are expected to feel comfortable and safe.
I’m intentionally choosing not to disclose this person’s identity or turn this into a public spectacle. My intention is not to encourage harassment or speculation, but to remind people that someone’s reputation, talent, or involvement in the community does not excuse abusive behavior.
Please look out for one another, take reports of abuse seriously, respect people’s boundaries, and don’t dismiss someone’s experience simply because the individual involved has a positive public image.
Everyone deserves to feel safe in their academic, social, and creative spaces.

Im a senior here w a GPA of 3.2. I want to go to med school, so this GPA won't really cut it, but istg I see some of you guys partying every other week but still keeping a 4.0 GPA and a part-time job.

I study for midterms like the week before and still do shit. I go out to socialize like once a week if not less with friends just to keep myself mentally sane (it could literally be a 2 hour coffee sesh), and I literally only work 12 hours so i can afford the basics.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG HOW DO I DO BETTER WIT SCHOOL IM DYING AHHH

• I have maybe five voice lines I drop to everybody
  
• Very predictable schedule
• People will come up to me for various quests and campus news
• Sometimes will get into fights

It's my birthday today and I'm wondering if any of the businesses downtown give out free things! Thanks :D

I’m in an engineering project club, and we have an out-of-state competition coming up. My midterm is right after we get back. The club helps arrange excused absences with professors, but I’m worried about having enough time to study, especially since we’re driving instead of flying.

I really want to go for the experience and team building, but I also don’t want my grade to suffer. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Were you able to study ahead or during the trip, or did the competition take up pretty much all your time? I’d appreciate any advice or tips for studying in that kind of situation, thanks!

A note to my fellow UC Davis students:

With the November 3 midterm elections approaching, I'd like to encourage everyone eligible to vote to take a closer look at the federal education policies affecting us and our futures.

This isn't about promoting one political party over another. It's about understanding how government decisions affect our opportunities to pursue higher education.

Under legislation signed by the Trump administration in 2025, the federal Grad PLUS loan program was eliminated for most new borrowers beginning July 1, 2026. Most graduate students are now limited to $20,500 in federal loans annually, with certain exceptions for existing borrowers.

This administration argues that restricting federal borrowing will pressure universities to lower tuition and reduce unnecessary spending.

But here's my question:

If the government wants universities to reduce tuition, shouldn't it first establish mechanisms that produce meaningful tuition reductions before withdrawing borrowing options from students who cannot otherwise afford to attend?

Tuition and living expenses remain extraordinarily high. Universities aren't automatically lowering their prices simply because students have lost access to federal borrowing.

Financial hardship can completely change a student's educational opportunities, and I know firsthand how difficult it can be to pursue an education when financial circumstances are uncertain. Not everyone has family financial support, substantial savings, excellent credit, or someone willing to cosign a private loan. I don't. Being academically qualified (even if excellent) doesn't necessarily mean being financially capable of attending.

And I know I'm far from the only student facing these realities.

Research examining the new borrowing limits suggests that a substantial share of graduate borrowers have historically depended on federal loans exceeding the newly established limits. Students without access to alternative financing may face particularly difficult choices.

So, this brings me to next question:

If the objective is to make higher education more affordable, what measurable protections are in place to ensure that financially disadvantaged students can still attend while institutions are being pressured to lower prices?

Because without those protections, students bear the immediate consequences of a policy whose eventual results remain uncertain.

Universities may or may not adjust their prices. WE, the students, however, must adjust our finances immediately.

I understand the importance of preventing excessive student debt. But reducing access to borrowing is not the same as reducing the cost of education.

And if fewer students can afford to attend graduate school, have we actually made education more affordable, or have we simply made it less accessible?

These are questions worth asking regardless of political affiliation.

To my fellow UC Davis students: Please research the policies, question the promises, examine the consequences, and vote according to your own informed judgment.

Our educational futures deserve more than assumptions that everything will eventually work itself out.

EDIT: I'm genuinely curious what other Aggies think about this:

If federal student loan limits decrease, but tuition and other living expenses don't, who is supposed to cover the difference?

And for those who support these new borrowing restrictions: What specific measures would you propose to ensure that students from lower-income backgrounds aren't priced out of graduate education?

Some people on this campus are genuinely so disrespectful and have absolutely no manners. 😭 There are a few things I’ve been noticing lately that are starting to piss me off.

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN WHEN YOU’RE WALKING IN A CROWD. Why are so many people walking around with their eyes glued to their phones, completely unaware of their surroundings, bumping into people without even saying excuse me or sorry.

I was walking from the bus stop today, somewhere near the Silo, and this person was walking straight toward me. I moved all the way over near the railing to avoid bumping into them, and somehow this person STILL slammed their shoulder into mine and just kept walking like nothing happened. NOT EVEN A SINGLE SORRY. Like, who raised y’all??? 💀 If you see someone walking toward you, it’s a two-way path. Move to your side and let people pass. It’s really not that hard.

Second, When we’re standing in line, I do NOT need to feel your breath on the back of my neck. Please leave some space between yourself and the person in front of you. We are all capable of standing in line without practically breathing down someone’s neck.

Third, PEOPLE ON BIKES AND SCOOTERS, SLOW THE HELL DOWN WHEN YOU SEE PEDESTRIANS. You’re sharing the campus with people who are walking, so act accordingly. And the worst part is that sometimes when you hit or nearly hit someone, you don’t even have the decency to stop and check if they’re okay. You just keep going??? Are you serious?

We’re all sharing the same campus. You are not the only person who exists in public spaces. Have some damn consideration for others. It costs absolutely nothing to have basic manners.

curious if anyone has copies of last years midterm or if anyone knows how many questions there are going to be? thank you :))

Hi! If you took are118 with Stanislaus and are112 with sutherland, could you please share your experience in these class? I cant find much info online

I was wondering if anybody is enjoying working at their host site.

A lot of people return to come back to do college corps and I was thinking this must be a good opportunity.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy college corps and being part of it, but I as of now I don't enjoy being at my host site.

There is nothing wrong persay with me or the host site supervisor, or that I am being treated badly. But the days I go there, I dread working there, because most of the time it just me supervising or watching the kids do their own study, and most of the time they don't want my help or ignore me when I talk to them.

I understand maybe a part of me that I have to do is trying to relate or talk to them personally but I also dont want to be in their space and allow them respect too.

I as a person like to keep myself a bit more busy and having things to do every minute, instead of slow work day where most of the time im standing on my feet for hours just watching them.

Hi! I'm taking the mat17 series this year and I'm curious as to which math professors I should have for mat17c for spring quarter 27. There are 4 different options. A Schwartz, Y Lee, K Burke, and R Chaudhuri.

Which prof is the easiest? I'm not terrible at math, but I don't want to self-study and rely on the textbook to understand the materials.

I’m a bio sci major looking for some upper restricted electives to take that fulfill the bio sci major requirements. Does anyone have any recommendations that aren’t too tough? They’ll be taken alongside biochem and some other major classes.

Thank you in advance!

Yea no idk how but BOTH fell out of my wallet???

Near silo, gunrock, the spokes or on the way to the arc from there. Or the arc but thats where I found out I dont have them.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the city adding additional paid parking hours in the F and G lots starting November 2nd? I just read about it in KCRA. I know most people bike, but what about those that need to drive?
