ASUCD? What does that mean? If you are new to UC Davis,this is a question that you too may soon be asking about this acronym. ASUCD,or the associated students of UC Davis,is like your high school’s student government– only bigger and with more people,jobs and money.

A new school year at UC Davis can mean a lot for a new student:a new bed,new classes,new friends and new eating (and drinking) habits.Aside from all the changes on campus,students often forget the new town waiting to be discovered,just blocks away.So once the new-school jitters settle down,here is something to point the way once the Quad is out of sight.

The more seasoned UC Davis students know that in order to get around campus,one needs a bike.Not only is it convenient,but as the largest campus in the University of California,it has become a necessity for many students. Some incomingfreshmen,like Paari Kandappan,are more excited about biking to class than intimidated.
