The monthly RA or TA stipend of ~$1400-1800 (before taxes) in my department is usually sufficient to sustain a modest standard of living in Davis. Our own wiki has the start of some pages to help you find ["New Student Guide" housing] and ["Room and Rental Ads" roommates]. The [[wiki:davis Davis Wiki]] also is a great resource to find [wiki:davis:Rental_Housing_Guide rental housing] and [wiki:davis:Roommates_Wanted roommates]. --["Users/FrancisHsu"]	+ ''2009-04-07 16:50:11'' [[nbsp]] Hi Shriram!

	+ ------ + ''2009-04-07 12:48:14'' [[nbsp]] Hey! I am an international student from India. I have been admitted to the graduate program in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering for Fall 2009. I have also received admits from the University of Colorado at Boulder, Arizona State University and North Carolina State University, among others. I have a few questions: + + In comparison with the above mentioned schools, + 1. What is your opinion on the department, faculty etc.? + 2. What are the job opportunities in the field on completion of the MS program? + 3. What are the chances of receiving some sort of funding, as in assistantships, scholarships etc.? + 4. What would be the typical monthly cost of living for a grad student at Davis? + 5. What is the best way to find decent housing which is also not too expensive and how do I find roommates? --["Users/Shriram"]

The coordinator's info can usually be found on the group's website. --["Users/MicheleTobias"]
