UC Davis: Off the Record - College Prowler - Softcover

Writing this book has been a wonderful experience. After finally declaring myself as an English major, I decided to plunge into the field and try my hand at freelance writing. This book is the fruit of my labors. Hopefully, it is the start of a future career in creative writing and the start of a line of publications. I have always been fascinated by language, but what little background I have has been rooted in poetry. This book was a wonderful and challenging opportunity to expand my horizons, and I hope it offers insightful information about Davis. Currently, I m a sophomore at UCD tirelessly working towards degrees in English and some branch of science that I haven t decided on yet possibly microbiology or environmental science. Continuing my education here has been a dizzying and inspiring experience; I only hope that this guidebook captured some of that unquantifiable spirit. I learned a lot in the process of writing it. I hope you get something out of it, too.

I owe many people heaps of thanks for all their support during this whole experience. Thank you Mom and Dad for your faith in me, Beez for your humor, Grandma and Papa for understanding when I had to cancel plans to meet the deadlines; Aunt Deed, Uncle Keith, and the girls for the Internet connection; Adam, Donry, Laura, Gracie-Lou, Ross-Hintze s, and Adelaide for your support. Danny, Benji, Danielle, Jack, Marge, Nina, Mari-Ferrari, Matt, and everyone else who obligingly answered the surveys, and all my roomies for broadening my perspective and enriching my college experience. Thank you Mr. Clark for getting this whole show on the road. Also, many thanks to Adam Burns and everyone at College Prowler! E-Mail me with any questions!

College Prowler is the needed link between students and guidebooks. It's students, writing for future students, about their student experience. It's like having an older sibling that went to the school and is telling you all about it.

- Ashley Dallas, TX
The guidebooks this company produces are revolutionary. You should not go to college without getting the College Prowler guidebook on your school."
