Most Influential Universities: UC Berkeley

By Philip James


Berkeley happens to be the city on the other side of the bridge from San Francisco Bay Area. Great community along with open minds, public transit, wonderful restaurants as well as a exceptional 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 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.

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.
