Enthusiastic professors!! Learn a lot here!

COMMUNITY, culture, academics, school spirit

Its prestige. Research opportunities. Location.

UC Berkeley has a distinct feel and atmosphere. It's free-spirited in that there are lots of different opinions expressed and people just let you be how you want to be. There's also a myriad of activities for people to get involved in.

The co-ops and library

How accepting everyone is, and how everyone is generally expected to be different. There's no "typical" Berkeley student, really.

Top notch academics and professors, interesting classes

There are a great deal of people here from all over the world! If you get involved in the campus community, it's a huge learning experience and plus for your future: doors for career paths will open, entrepreneurs thrive, friendship, and an overall eye-opening experience of diversity functioning relatively harmoniously. I like how accepting the students are here, and that the priorities do not include your wardrobe or parties. You can find that here if you want... but it's not the focus. Lots of great ethnic food is available nearby, as well as music venues!
