Americas Best Universities: UC Berkeley

By Philip James


Berkeley is the city on the other side of the bay bridge from San Francisco. Great city with open minds, public transportation, great eateries and a great liberal university.

University of California Berkeley is like a place no other. Situated between Oakland and San Francisco, there's barely a scarcity of events for any type of student. If you want laid-back and casual time much like me, you could meet up with your pals in your dormitories or perhaps at one of the libraries there. Additionally you can see a few of the local spots there, including the streets packed with specialty restaurants, stores and bars, merely outside the campus grounds. There aren't that much of commercial chain merchants there, like California Pizza Kitchen but if you ask me, I think it lets preserve the essence of the place.

This particular university, widely known as Cal, features a extremely lively student body. The Free Speech Movement occurred there and by merely strolling around the university grounds, you will definitely get the impression of camaraderie plus a tremendous pride in school spirit. Sporting events are undoubtedly a vital aspect of this institution. There are plenty of sports teams that you can join, and if perhaps you're not really into that, you'll certainly get to experience the sensations tailgating and joining Bonfire Rally, which is attended by the majority of the student population, families, alumnus and strangers that may turn out to be a good friend in the future. While we do need to accomplish each of our responsibilities inside the classroom, we as well devote equal energy into our extra-curricular activities. This you are able to positively enjoy come breaks.

If you are an incoming student, you'll be able to stay at one of the housing facilities inside the campus. University of California Berkeley makes it simpler, easier and much more cozy for college students to move around. There are actually plenty of car parking areas if you are hoping to make use of a car but it seems such a misuse of everything nature has to offer not to walk around. It is certainly stunning come springtime, when everything is flowering and the sunshine is out. And don't bother about being alone, walking back to your dorm late into the evening. The security guards rove the campus night and day.

My favorite part in Cal is the people. It is quite easy to find new individuals yet a few things i discovered in this particular school is that you will get to know for sure loads of kooky, zealous, intelligent as well as eclectic people. Precisely, the composure of the student population is going to keep you motivated to boost oneself and above all, lead you to success. Up until now, I have remained in contact with a lot of my classmates back them.

Nature, history, sports and people. What more could you ask for in an institution? So head on out to North California to witness first-hand the charming place called University of California Berkeley.
