UC Berkeley Reviews

Beautiful campus! I visited berkley in the summer and I wish I could attend!

Great campus! I have had multiple advisors who studied at this great institution. I felt like I belonged here even as a visitor checking out the campus. Less pretentious and more welcoming than the Stanford campus. :P

Great campus and programs. My wife is graduating today from the Master in Data Science! So proud of her!

Huge variety of courses and people with all sorts of interests. Berkeley has so much to offer in terms of courses and social life outside school. The different student groups are so many and various that you should have trouble to not find one or many that fits your interest.

Beautiful campus with an engaging background. The nearby area can be sketchy in the evenings.

If planning on attending this school, please watch the videos of the student demonstration against whites. Racism is racism, if you need to plan your racist protests in a safe place, those should go too

Completed a Master of Information and Data Science from the School of Information. Excellent breadth of content (I picked the program since it was the only one at the time to include an ethics elective), and valuable network with the other (mostly working professional) students, plus UC Berkeley's connections with the tech scene.

They advocate racism toward white people. It's disgusting and shouldn't be allowed. Everyone should be treated the same and segregation is a giant step back. Way to go

I am Disgusted by this place. It reeks of young adults that have no secular views. The education is bias and laughably bad in general. I would recommend this school to communist.

Encouraging the worst in human behavior and destroying American values all while providing an expensive mediocre education.

Allowing protest is a good thing but allowing protest that separates based on race is applying. Disrupting students who have paid to go to school there is a big disservice to those kids. Thanks UC Berkeley for showing us what the last 3 decades of entitlement mentalities creates in our society.

Promoting racism and encouraging it is a slap in the face to hose who fought for equality and civil rights. And I'm white.

I love it my sister took me to one of her classes it was actually fun

The ones giving this school a 1 star rating have never stepped a foot on campus or been inside of this, or any university for that matter and maybe have a high school diploma at best. It's a hard university to get into and renown institution through out America. College is an awesome experience, you crazy little Trump lovers should try it!

I'm am disgusted by your security on campus, what a shame. I cannot believe they let that happen to that poor man.

If you survive in Berkeley for 4 years, you can survive anywhere.

Great campus with wonderful environment and rich history,

Some parts of campus are pretty run down... but it's a neat visit.

My name is Kenneth Thomas and this is my review! I love learning, and this is a college where folks do that. It's gotta be awesome, right?! Looking forward to learning!!

Nice place for walks and visits and good resources.

Awesome place to go wander, explore and enjoy the vibrant student life!

Very significantly historic university. There is many good stories to everything from the floor to the structure of the buildings. Students here achieve academic excellence and fight for what they believe. Students here fight for justice and come together to be able to do so.

The campus is beautiful and in a decent location not too far from San Francisco. The students are very passionate about what they do and it seems that the school really cares about providing students with clubs, services, and classes that can truly benefit them. It would be an honor to attend this school. A+ from me. Only downside is that it was hard to find good restaurants around there. And I watched a guy get arrested on campus so that was interesting. They don't really have parking options. It's a walking school for sure. The nature and campus is welcoming, gorgeous, and an overall peaceful atmosphere. Truly a beauty.

Very nice place to walk around for some interesting photography shots. Once done go visit some of the local food shops. Many gems around the campus.

I did a review from doing a review, to make this review, in college teaching , you would be the 3rd reader, or in this case the 3rd review from a review

I HOPE ONE DAY TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY IN THE INSTITUTION OF TEACHING AND MAKE MY DREAM OF DOING THE SPECIALIZATION IN INTERNATIONAL LAW IN BERKELEY.

I'm not a student there, but as a visitor I was astonished how big the University was. it had so many study environment very much alive atmosphere. Hope you catch this school whatever chances you have

Liberal cesspit. Go there if you want to be brain washed.

Did a 6-week summer session in 2012 and a year abroad in 2013-14 as an exchange student. Loved both experiences! Yes studying was tough at times for sure, but it was worth trying. Miss the unique vibe of this little cozy college town too! Go Bears!

I was looking into Berkeley until I saw there protest that didn't let any white students into One of the campus entrances. Way to fight racism with racism. Who would want to go to a school with students like this?

Going to the University of Berkeley, it takes only two hours to get around the main attractions!

Regardless of the politics this is a gorgeous campus

95% of the people giving it the lowest rating aren't even students nor do their opinions associate with the academia of the school. It seems the raters are extreme right and accuse everyone of being liberals without even knowing. Yes, there are conservatives at this school as well as the Republican Club (this is why conservative speakers have been invited to speak there). These negative reviews are based on the recent riots (and past from a long, long time ago), and most of the rioters weren't even students at CAL! What a shame to base non-student rioters with the hardworking students who are the majority and not involved in the rioting. It is like saying all Blacks are the same, or all Whites are the same. Those reviewers are accusing them of having low I.Q.'s but look who is calling the kettle black (no pun intended). If they had low I.Q.'s then how come UC Berkeley produces the a great amount of notable alumni's? Plus their acceptance rate is low so it is a pretty elite school for the intelligent. And YES, I do agree with the other reviewer that the loud ones (the rioters) got more media exposure and attention, so they got noticed, but there are much more students who were quiet and did not participate but working hard elsewhere (studying and trying to get places). I am not a student at Cal Berkeley but what I do know is that their is a lineage of notable alumni's that have graduated from this prestigious university with such a rich history. These alumni's have contributed much to society...and No, they aren't rich spoiled kids either like some of the jealous (maybe rejected) reviewers have rated...they are actually the opposite. How could you be a "tree hugger" and also rich spoiled kids driving BMW's? Wouldn't that be a conflict of belief and interest? Especially if majority of the kids don't have cars not because there are no room for student parking, but because everyone there walks or rides their bike! It's such a shame that these emotionally charged reviews are based on what they have seen in the media. The review should be for the beautiful cultural and historical aspect of the campus and the academics the university has to offer. The alumni's that are produced from this school are one that should be envied. And just a note, I am not a Liberal.

The food there just sucks
all they got is nuggets cuh
and they aint that good

While working at Sybase in Emeryville, I took several graduate software classes at University of California, Berkeley. When I fist started taking classes, I did not know UCB allowed people in wheelchairs to park on campus. Once I started parking next to the building with my classes, life became much easier. Great classes and instructors.

Apparently they let a bunch a racist keep people out of class. That's not good. Bringing back racism and segregation no sirree

Overpriced place for kids to hang out. No education I'd provided at this "university" save your money and gang put at Walmart.

This campus is filled will children that feel they are owed something, and will never pay their loans. They will bankrupt what used to be a fine institution.

You know what you've done. I wonder what percentage of criminal activity is created by the caucasians that attend there? The problem is the ones with the microphones. A nation divided will fall.

Berkeley is so silent and peace place; this university is wonderful; campus is good too. If you are looking for more activate, it is not easy to find more in this location but it is so close the best city San Fransisco. whenever you want in the morning or eveining you can go easily. I love Berkeley library and some cafe too. You can try some perfect international food. people is nice, if you are looking for the best university in USA, yes you are in now.

I was an exchange student there between 2013 - 2014.

The bells of Berkeley University feel so good, the campus is not too big, but it is very warm and I like it!

It is sad the segregation that was endorsed at this university.

The bell tower is magnificent, ascending and overlooking, and the scenery is infinite

I went here for one, not know what I got myself into. I was harassed and bullied for my views. It's a shame such a historic college when it comes to free speech is turning fascist.

Its nasty that you allow whats going on at your college this is a racist against whites college and you do nothing to stop it. You should be ashamed.

Despite being a relatively young university, more top 10 departments than any other university, and the 4th largest number of Nobel Laureates. The most beautiful and dynamic campus on the planet.

In 25 years \ (^ o ^) / (^. ^) (^ _-) - ( v .)

this school sucks and everyone is snobby god i hate rich people

I graduated in '02 with a degree in Business Administration. While the major itself was fairly easy to complete, getting into the program was a grueling process involving several layers of managing Berkeley's very impersonal bureaucracy. I found Berkeley to be fairly academically rigorous (especially in the first couple of years), and the whole ordeal of getting through major requirements proved too daunting for some of my classmates - attrition was pretty high.

That said, those that make it through this crucible and manage to graduate tend to be better for the experience. They're highly confident, smart, and capable, and I'm proud to be counted among its alumni.

Beautiful campus, finished undergrad here, class of 2015, already missing this place. Go bears

They refused people to be part of their history because of the skin color.

What are they teaching at Berkeley?

A beautiful campus. Great for walks in the morning.

Kind of full of racists who really hate white people. Refuse to have any proper conversation with someone with a different view to their's. Riots every now and then. A lot of violence, destroying property, school does hardly anything to punish these crazy people. Instead they just do some blockades or let them do whatever they want for a short while to get the energy out. What is the world coming to ? I thought this was a university for learning, not a baby sitting center for spoiled brats.
