Be advised: the CoHo is under construction and the only open part is on the east side of the MU where the copy shop/post office/travel agency used to be. However, it's getting upgraded so you can totally talk it up. It has all the same stuff from when we were in college, but they've added a Pho bar with sushi and I believe this new remodel will add even more things. <br /><br />having grown up in davis, I think I can say that I understand why people think Davis isn't really all that much. I mean, it's awesome, but all of my favorite things are my favorite because they have stories and memories embedded in them. I think you can talk to her about how she can choose any college and find what she's looking for - if she's looking for good friends, meaningful personal growth, etc...<br /><br />I think you should tell your favorite stories about your roommates and best friends so that she knows that even though davis is a small town and sometimes smells like cows (I lived in Tercero) it can also be an incredibly important and fun place.<br /><br />Have fun!<br /><br />Some of my other favorite Davis places:<br /><br />Newsbeat<br />Central Park/Farmer's Market<br />the Co-op<br />Peet's Downtown<br />Zia's Deli<br />Kathmandu<br />Sophia's Thai<br />Sam's (by campus - for Shwarma)<br />Greenbelt/Bike Path (esp.

Tercero B Building was always a hit!! :) Maybe Trudy's for their fine furniture. :) Do they still have the bowling alley in the MU?Adrianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14270579390988093677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756696447377775633.post-58544565581228727272010-08-05T21:41:04.377-07:002010-08-05T21:41:04.377-07:00king loungeking loungeNew Branchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036722298060306250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756696447377775633.post-1741661726965758512010-08-05T16:03:58.464-07:002010-08-05T16:03:58.464-07:00This was always fun having been a student and then...This was always fun having been a student and then working in Undergraduate Admissions.<br /><br />I always told students to trust their gut as well as their head.

If they say that the dorms smell like cows, go to Tercero and see.
