From within Nautilus navigate the menus to Edit->Preferences.
On the main Views tab change the "View new folders using" option to "List View" and the "Default zoom level" option at the bottom to 33%.
I believe it's set by the menu Edit=>Preferences, Views tab, under Icon View Defaults, by the checkbox Text beside icons.
