I really enjoy the diversity here. Nobody really feels left out and you could always find a great network of friends. It is also academically challenging.
Olivia
The diversity, it makes berkeley really unique and an amazing place to live

The whole experience of going to a University and meeting people from all over the nation and sometimes the world. I definitely feel that I got the full experience opposed to if I were to have gone to a small private school.

My school has a lot of programs for academic support. There are tutors for nearly every subject. The tutors are especially helpful in math and science classes. The school also has several adjunct courses. Adjunct courses further assist students in their studies by encouraging people to work in groups; as a result, these courses further encourage students to share and interact with one another.

The liberal and diverse culture is particularly interesting. For example, I have never heard so many different languages spoken in one place before coming to UC Berkeley.

The student parent association on campus. They do out reach program to encourage students with kids to attend Cal and let them know that they can afford CAL.
Michelle
The people associated with it. People are passionate about what they study and there are a variety of opinions and beliefs.
Diane
The best thing is probably the level of technology on campus including the technology used in classrooms, the usage of websites for almost all classes, and having wireless everywhere on campus.
Lauren
It offers a lot of high ranking programs so that the people that attend this school are all intelligent. I rarely encounter someone that doesn't appreciate the quality of the program that they are in, assuming they have chosen the right one for themselves.

I think that the multicultural community is best thing about Berkeley. For underrepresented students resources such as Bridges Multicultural Center and the Recruitment and Retention Centers as well as the Multicultural Student Development Offices act as sanctuaries for people of color and community issues. I love that I can come to these brave spaces to have my voice heard, become politically aware and responsive, and serve to motivate other underprivileged people to pursue higher education. These spaces comfort me after a long day; to be in the company of others I know truly care about my experiences.
