7 Things I Wish I Knew Before College // UC Davis 

Ah shucks! I don't think I mentioned it in the video but make sure you follow me on Instagram @gauruvvirk

Can’t wait to breathe the same oxygen as UCD’s most elite scholar next month 😦

This was in my recommended and I'm currently a fourth year at Davis lol Few Tips: Talk to everyone in the dorms the first few weeks since everyone is eager to meet new people and make friends. Try to take a lighter course load your first quarter so you can take some time to make new friends and experience the campus. Make an academic plan outlining your first year or two to make sure you stay on track. Your major advisor can help you with this. There are plenty of open parties the first week. Treat yourself and have some fun.

Still hasn't hit me yet that i'll be moving in less than a month for davis 😂 thanks for the advice Gauruv

Dude you're literally so funny, you're a living meme

I love your editing skills and you are SO FUNNY! I want to be as successful as you at UC Davis, I PRAY!

Hi! I really enjoyed your video! If I may, I would like to add a couple of points: 1) Use your resources on campus! There are tons of free resources on campus that students either do not know of or who believe they can survive without it. I am talking about the Women's Resource Center, the Pantry (Memorial Union), Internship and Career Center, Handshake, Counseling Services, ARC, SRRC, the LGBTQ+ community (SCC), and more. Remember, you are paying more than ~14k, ~40k+ depending if you are a resident of California, out-of-state resident, or an international student. Your college years will are the years where many learn, grow, and thrive the most. 2) Gauruv slightly touched it, but I wish for everyone to get out of your comfort zone talk to everyone! What I enjoy most is learning of people's history and breaking that barrier we have in small talk, getting into deeper and meaningful conversations, and learning of other peoples perspective and experiences. So yes, a simple "hello" can go a long way with people as well as "how is your day". Let the conversation flow! ah, and I am a fourth year in UC Davis. Goodluck yalls!

I feel less anxious now thanks to you!! Can’t wait for this upcoming quarter (:

Not a first yr student but watching anyways lolll Can 100% agree with these tips, ESPECIALLY abt calc room & getting out there! It’s your freshman year, enjoy it and find your balance. Best of luck this following qtr :-)

Im gonna be starting my second year and this was randomly on my recommended but I gotta say amazing editing skills, and really good advice, all true

HAHAH I loved this so much, and oh boy DC pizza hit me so hard with that freshman 20 last year too

honestly, your videos are the best thing that transfer apps has brought me :,) glad to see that you've always been so hilarious :p

I'm transfering to Davis this fall and even though it's not my first year of college I still enjoyed this video 🤣 I love your editing. Keep up the good work!

currently dying at cal orientation. needed this. thanks bb. (also proud to say that i'm part of the freshman -15 club!!)

Good job you editing skills improved a lot

Great video! I am transfering into Davis this fall as a third year. Hopefully I will see you around campus! There is so many UCD students commenting on this video we should all meet up.

I'm going to be a freshman at UCD next month and I was so nervous about going into the new environment. Thanks for easing off some of my worries. Glad to have some support from a fellow engineer. :)

"The wind hits you harder, cause you know... you're... nude" has me dead!

Legenddddddddd!!! 🤴🏽🤩🤩🤩

This guy is hilarious 😂😂😭😭 I’m not even half way done with this video

I didn't go to orientation, so some of this is p useful! The Calc Room, you say? Hmm... I'll dive into it! Eesh, I'm freaking out, 25 days left until I land in Davis! Worried I'll be slam-dunked by Phy 9B!! Thanks for the video :D

one of my regrets of freshman year was not going to the calc room more! i literally only went there once for 21D lmao i was always too scared to walk in there but the one time i went, i realized that it was v helpful!!

So I got accepted into Berkeley & I’m debating between Davis Merced & Berkeley if you could go back would you still choose Davis over those UC’s? I’m currently leaning more toward Davis because Berkeley’s grade deflation scares me.

I like his sense of humor

bruh the stare into the camera when you talked about not stealing a cow... why do i feel like that's from a personal experience low key

Aggie up! This was in my recommended lol

ahh... calc room.. walked in there once and realized I had no idea what to do. I didn't even bring my laptop or textbook. had to walk out. never returned since I am still so embarrassed, but I won't need to since I do not need to take calc anymore.

I'm an incoming freshman that's watched so many Davis vids and I've never heard of the calc room 😅

💖

I'm in STEP currently, and honestly it feels really dead. Hopefully once the quarter starts it's easier to meet people.

What course are you studying? I am planning to come there for Food Science

when you want to snack eat fruit IWOKXJF IF ONLY ITS THAT EASY AHAHA

Major change GANG🤣🤣

Damn, you're funny!! XD

My advice to not get the freshman 15 is to not use all your Aggie cash on chips because that’s what some ppl (idk who)... some ppl did. Also, try the cuarto DC it’s amazing. If you wanna be wined, dined, and sixty-nined that is the spot 😤🔥

Hey gaurav! How tall are you? You seem very tall

You're HILARIOUS! Take my Asian American Studies courses at UC Davis, especially ASA2 Introduction to Asian American Studies. I talk about higher education and topics that relates to your video. It will be fun. -Prof. Valverde :D

Funny !!

"no, im kidding, im sorry"

I am now tempted to steal a cow And ride a bike naked 😤

Tip 8: don’t take any classes with Diego Yankelvich

I’m that kid who got the 12%

Is this one serious?

Snack responsibly

Keep up the good work man! Hope to see you around campus! I also have a RU-vid channel! I do some UC Davis vlogs ! You should check it out!👏☺️
