Prestigious Universities: UC Berkeley

By Philip James


Berkeley is actually the city on the opposite side of the bay bridge from San Francisco. Great place with open minds, public transportation system, suberb cuisine plus a great free-thinking university.

University of California Berkeley unwraps you up to a completely new arena. Found in the middle of Oakland and San Francisco, there is absolutely no shortage of activities for each and every sort of person. If you want relaxing and casual time as i do, you could meet up with your buddies in your residence hall or even at the school library. You can even look into a few of the local spots there, including the streets packed with unique restaurants, outlets and pubs, only outside the campus grounds. There aren't that many commercial chain outlets there, like California Pizza Kitchen but if you ask me, It lets preserve its ambiance of the area.

This university, most commonly known as Cal, has a very active student body. The Free Speech Movement happened there and just by walking around the campus, you will get the feeling of camaraderie and a great pride in school spirit. Sports events are an essential part of this university. There are so many sports teams that you can try out in, and if you're not into that, you'll surely get to experience the phenomena of our tailgating events and Bonfire Rally, which is attended by most of the student population, families, alumnus and strangers turned into friends. While we do have to do our part in the classroom, we also put in equal effort into our extra-curricular activities. This you can positively witness come weekends.

If you are an incoming freshmen, you'll get to stay at one of the residential facilities in the campus. University of California Berkeley makes it easier and more comfortable for students to move about. There are quite a few parking spots if you intend to use a car but it seems such a waste not to walk around to better see the Redwoods and foliage scattered around the university. It is especially stunning come spring, when everything is in bloom and the sun is out. And don't worry about being along, strolling back to your dorm even late at night. The security guards rove the campus around the clock.

The best thing in Cal is the people. It is extremely effortless to find new people yet what I observed in this particular university is that you will get to know loads of fun, zealous, intelligent as well as eclectic students. Merely the actual mentality of the student population will certainly keep you going to enhance yourself and more importantly, lead you to good results. Until recently, I have retained several relationships even though everyone graduated already.

Nature, heritage, sporting events and people. Just what more could you ask for in an institution? Hence head on out to North California to see with your own eyes the enchanting place called University of California Berkeley.
