加州戴维斯本科怎么样？
UCD is wonderful. I was there 70-71 for my undergrad and returned in the late 80's for a masters degree program along with several visits over the years to visit friends who are grad students or faculty members there still. The campus itself is beautiful – set in the middle of the California wine country (a bit of Napa right next door) – and amazingly well laid out.

The seminar helps you define your research interests early on and works closely with faculty members doing cutting edge work in all areas of psychological inquiry. If you decide to pursue a graduate degree in psychology after completing your undergraduate work here， it will be like having a head start on your Ph.D. as you’ve already taken the core courses needed for advanced
