•Davis has a better reputation in California. Nationwide it does too, because it's ranked in the top 50 and Irvine is not.
The weather in Irvine is way better. Davis can be pretty foggy in the winter from what I understand.•••••I don't know where you got this fog idea. Yeah, we have a few days with fog in the winter, but it burns off pretty fast. I won't deny the weather in Irvine being better, but having seen Irvine (my brother goes there), and going to Davis myself, I think the college environment at Davis is better. Cost of living is a bit better in Davis too (rents are a bit lower than OC), but with the housing crunch here, I don't know how long that will last.
If anyone has any questions about Davis (not necessarily the med school), feel free to PM me (I've lived here 5 years).
