Best decision of my life to go here. I got a fantastic education at a reasonable price & made lifelong friends. Almost everyone you meet here is impressive, going places or doing something meaningful with their lives. If you are a nerd at heart, feel like other people don't get you, love to read, or build things, or to think deeply about ideas, these are your people. Leave your ego at the door and be open to joining extracurriculars, and you will have an amazing experience like I did. BS '13

Scary, unsafe campus. Feel that this campus should shut down due to the explosive, hateful, unruly thugs who are injuring students and running this campus. NO parent who loves their child would even consider this campus or education were such extensive violence is allowed without any prosecution. Pull your child out of here!!

I've been to this campus many times. It's beautiful, and the education is great... minus one thing; the predisposed dispositions of the faculty and student body. Most are radicalized leftists who don't understand economic basics or social constructs. First letting men into women's bathrooms, safe spaces for student who need to learn the tough lessons of life, burning flags, and now, the racist, physical violence being taken by faculty, staff, and students on campus. What a horrible place.

The campus is very quiet and there are not many tourists, but the food street outside the campus shows a completely different look, noisy, cluttered, and poor public security.
My friends told me to pay special attention to money when receiving it from outside. The public security is not very good.

I graduated in '76 with a degree in Applied Math. Great experience. Berkeley has very high academic standards. They don't coddle students but do teach you to think and solve problems. During my professional career, the academic pedigree of an applicant for a job was very important. Berkeley is at the top of the list. You know what you are getting; a prepared, driven individual. The campus is beautiful and only a Bart ride to the City (San Francisco). You can even see the Golden Gate from the entrance to the Math building

This is not about right vs left, liberal vs conservative, or republican vs democrat. This is about love vs hate. It's about tolerance vs bigotry. There is a huge difference between personal belief and holding others to your own standards. Obviously there are people all around us everyday who believe things differently than ourselves. However, belittling, berating, and especially physical violence, are not solutions and only worsen the condition of humanity and kill any hope that we can live together in peace, despite our differences. The Berkeley school body is an embarrassment with the way they have acted towards others and instead of imposing your ideologies through hate and force, try loving eachother. It actually works!
