We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Davis is literally known as 'no one's first choice' and home to every Berkeley washout who couldn't handle real competition. Instead of studying, they spend four years pretending to care about agriculture while their mascot is a mustang named Gunrock, on a campus full of cows and tractors. It's the academic equivalent of participation trophy culture.
They're so proud of being America's 'Bicycle Capital' that they forgot to mention how many of those bicycles walk off on their own. The entire town runs on stolen bicycles and misplaced academic dreams. Even their own students joke about having 'a bike waiting to be stolen' - imagine being so predictably mediocre that bike theft is part of your school spirit.
The town is so famous for how it smells that locals have a name for it: 'Essence of Davis,' a polite term for everything smelling like cow manure. Students living near the farm fields get a free aromatherapy session of bovine excrement whenever the wind turns. They've romanticized farm stench so much they miss it when they leave - Stockholm syndrome but for livestock smell.
Their biggest annual event is Picnic Day featuring the 'Doxie Derby' - wiener dog races that somehow pass for sophisticated entertainment. The rest of the day is livestock demos where visitors line up to watch sheep get sheared and cows get milked. When your cultural highlights are dog racing and farm chores, you've achieved true small-town excellence.
