University of California-Berkeley Top Questions

There is something to do for everyone.

Its diversity and the amount of experts teaching here.

Everything on-campus,is very close to each other.

The best thing about the University of California Berkeley is the vast ethnic, racial, religious, cultural, socio-economic, political (etc.) diversity across the campus. UC Berkeley is one the most accepting and least discriminating universities in the entire world. As one of the finest public institutions on the national level, UCB accepts students of any background that are persistently pursuing an enriching experience in higher education at the most academic level. Berkeley accepts a large percentage of transfer students who unfortunately can't afford four year's tuition at a University, but seek the benefits and advantages of higher education.

The professors are generally very knowledgable and inspiring. I also love the Co-op system which provides housing and a great social network off of campus. The campus and surrounding city is also just a great place to walk around- and you can't beat the weather!

There is always something going on, so you don't get homesick as easily. There is a group for everyone, and you can always find a group of friends to spend time with.

I like the dynamic of the students; almost everyone here is so intelligent. I believe that the quality of education here is excellent. The material we cover is very abstract and difficult, but the way it is taught and tested pushes students to be more than just absorbers and regurgitators. Students really have to dig deep and think critically and analytically. I think my university pushes students to be innovators and initiative-takers.

diversity. no matter what you're interested in or who you are, you can find a place for yourself here.
