Colleges are a rich pool of diversity and uniqueness, but there are a few things that every college student shares. The stress before finals, the release of a good party, and the knowledge of being absolutely, completely broke – these are the things that bring every college student together. Regardless of the emptiness of your wallet, there’s no need to despair, here are 10 free things to do around The University of California Davis!
The Mondavi Center has tons of new and exciting programs to check out at Davis, with music performances ranging throughout various genres. Everyone will find something they enjoy! Plus, students get a discount on tickets and there are lots of free performances!
This one might not be for everyone, but exercising can be lots of fun. Even if working out isn’t your cup of tea, there are other activities at the ARC that you can sign up for, like rock climbing or dancing.
The Arboretum is a great place to take a hike with your friends or significant other. The variety of trees and ferns it sports are absolutely beautiful, especially alongside the river. Best of all, it’s quiet and private – a great place for a de-stressing after a rough exam.
The lake and accompanying park is a beautiful place for a picnic. It’s the perfect place to relax – sunshine and delicious food, with a beautiful landscape to admire!
Similar to the Mondavi Center, the Pitzer Center puts on a variety of different shows, particularly concerts. If you are interested in exploring new types of music or want to listen to some live music, this is the place to go!
For those of you who not only enjoy listening to music, but also love playing it, the music building is just for you. Otherwise, this is a great time to just mess around on instruments at The University of California Davis.
After the stress of midterms, the Mind Spa is a great place to go to relax. Consider getting a massage with your friends or simply reclining in one of the chairs and talking for a while!
Upstairs in the Segundo Services Center is a gorgeous terrace. It tends to be private and has a great view of campus. Go there to study or listen to music for a jam session.
The farmers market might not sound like much, but wandering through the stalls can be a lot of fun and a great way to get some food, too! Otherwise, wandering around downtown going window shopping isn’t such a bad idea, either.
The quad is right in the center of campus. Want to know about new events going on? This is the place to go! It’s also a great place to enjoy Davis’s natural beauty with your friends.
