After graduating from a very small highschool, I was extremely nervous about navigating my way through a large research university such as UC Davis. The Integrated Studies Honors Program served as the perfect stepping stone. With ISHP, I got the best of both worlds the abounding opportunity for research and study of a large university with the sense of community and personal attention of a smaller residential program.

Participating in DHC has been an amazing experience that has enriched my academic experience. In addition to making friends with talented and friendly students, I have had the opportunity to directly interact with UC Davis faculty members, who have continued to provide me with guidance and support.

ISHP has been an integral part of my years at UC Davis. Participating in the program as a freshman, tutor, and ISHP Honors Thesis student has greatly enhanced my college experience, allowing me to grow both as a student and a person. I would highly recommend ISHP to every student who has the opportunity to participate.

DHC has truly enhanced my experience as an undergraduate with opportunities I would not have otherwise had.

My experience with this program has exceeded my expectations as I have been able to work with the most amazing students on projects that I believe will ultimately benefit the student body. The earlier stages of this program were great for exploring areas outside of my major and gave me a sense of appreciation for things I normally wouldnt study.

I joined DHC because I was looking for a smaller community to make new friends within and because I was excited about being able to interact with UC Davis professors. Universities have such large classrooms and it is often easy to forget that there is a human professor you can request help from. DHC has given me the opportunity to work with my peers and professors in a smaller group so that we can all get to know one another better.

UC Davis offered me the most incredible of opportunities. From an academic standpoint I was impressed with not only the quality of my professors from the sciences to the humanities but also their genuine desire to help their students.

DHC provided the opportunity to interact with a group of fun, intelligent people consistently over my four years at Davis. DHC essentially shrunk the campus - I had a community of peers, staff, and faculty that I considered myself part of and it made Davis large campus more of a home.
