The Colleges at La Rue

im looking for new apartment rn and I realized that la rue is the best😂 icant find a better one

Living at The Colleges at La Rue has honestly been one of the few highlights of being at UC Davis. The apartments are clean, modern, and conveniently located right on campus. Quiet surroundings, well-maintained facilities, and easy access to parks and the Farmers Market make this place feel like an actual community. The management is responsive, the environment is peaceful, and you get a sense of independence — something severely lacking in other parts of UC Davis. And then… you step off the property line and remember you’re still at UC Davis. The school itself is another story: broken systems, clueless administration, and a culture that rewards mediocrity while driving away anyone who takes their education seriously. You’ll deal with disorganized departments, performative activism, and an administration more concerned with PR spin than student well-being. It’s like The Colleges was built to remind you what UC Davis could be, but chooses not to be. If you have to be stuck at UC Davis, The Colleges at La Rue is about as good as it gets — just don’t expect the same quality from the actual university.
