Isn't it great that old Davis grads like myself can interact via the
internet with law students at the alma mater? When do the other old
grads get here?

I've lived in Davis. Went to undergrad and law school there. Grew up
in Sacramento (suburbs). Lived in Santa Rosa. Lived in Ventura.

I would move to Santa Rosa, Ventura, or Santa Cruz in a minute.
Unfortunately (for low paid losers like me), housing costs too much,
and jobs (the low pay kind I like) are scarce. But Davis is a nice
place, and a great school. Move to one of those desireable places
after you graduate.

After all, it can always get worse. You could end up in Fresno. I did.
Auuuuuuuggggghhhh!
