Proximity Is Key
The fact that UC Berkeley is so close to many other urban areas with crime problems makes it inevitable that some of those occurances will spill on to the campus. Campus police as well as the city's police department have made themselves known by educating the student community on how to keep ourselves safe, treat others respectfully and be responsible. Communication is one of the big factors in making sure that our campus stays safe regardless of the urban problems that come with such large neighboring cities.

Great
School spirit is great on campus especially when it comes to supporting our teams. I think that this year there has been a shift to more interest in less "high profile" sports. I think this is due to the construction of the university stadium which has displaced the football team.

Everyone's Their Own
Guys and girls on campus are a complete array of diverse people. Most people follow the latest fashion trends, within the confines of student budgets. Social life primarily consists of people with common interests, which usually overlap with school studies.

I haven't had any interaction with any "greek" life since I've been attending, but I know for sure that they exist. I've heard positive things from other students about the housing, comradere, and their social contributions.
