Hillary

A person who loves to learn, is passionate about life, interested in discovering oportunites around every corner should thrive at UC Berkeley. Open minds, but strong minds belong here. Hard workers and people who naturally absorb material both will thrive here.

Amoriz

The perfect person for UC Berkelely is someone won't mind a mental challenge, because you will be pushed to your extremes here but also someone who would appreciate the long standing history of Berkeley's liberal side and ever evolving atmosphere. The sacrifices you make here to be the best student will continuously reap rewards even after you have left this place. All the memories will be engrained in your mind and make you that much of a stronger and more well rounded individual.

Daishar

A person who is open minded.

Christine

An academically serious person who has the ability to make friends as well as to be comfortable with newfound independence.

Yang

Cal is not an easy school to get into or to go through. The most suitable type of person for UCBerkeley should be someone who is motivated and knows what they want. One should be strong academically, emotionally and even physically (Cal sits on a multitude of hills). Be well-rounded and prepared to do what it takes to succeed, and also be aware that there are other intelligent and highly competitive people in the student body. Work hard, do your best, and remember that it's not all about the studying.

Christine

A person willing to challenge them self should attend Berkeley. UC Berkley students need to be able to think, form opinions, and defend them. It is not a university in which time can be wasted; it offers many opportunities and access to influential professors and a flood of information in the campus's many libraries. There are so many groups advocating different activities and passions, anyone can fit in. UC Berkeley is a place of open minds too; a student at this campus needs to be tolerant and willing to listen and talk to people very different from them.

Genevieve

You have to be independent and not afraid to ask for help. Academic, financial and career advising is hard to find if you don't seek it out yourself, but there are resources available for those who look for them. Conservatives definitely do not fit in at this school, and you have to be willing and able to stand up for your opinions and beliefs, as people oftentimes engage in lively debates. You have to be a hard worker, and if you want to feel as connected to the school as possible you should involve yourself in extracurricular activities.

Simon

As I said before, the alumni in Berkeley is very varied, with different types of cultures everywhere, so I believe any person would fit into this school.

Jiayi

Rich diversity and resources, amazing professors and lectures

Carlos

Someone who is interested in learning critical learning skills such as research and critical thinking. Someone who is seeking out to become a leader in their community and reaching out to help those who do not have the same priviledges and opportunities that other do have. In an essence someone who is looking to change the world to make a better place for everyone. Ambition, determination and a good heart is essencial as you learn so many things in this school that can truly make a change.
