Big School, Big Spirit
The variety and talent of our sports teams make UC Berkeley a great place to study if you're an athlete. We have winning teams in a bunch of college sports like Basketball and Football, and the Golden Bears definitely have a huge fan base. We are currently building a new training center near the stadium, so sports are a priority at Cal despite it's other well-known scholastic attributes.

Diversity in the Woodwork
The University of California, Berkeley is one of the most diverse campuses I've visited, and I don't only refer to student ethnicity. Since Berkeley is a highly academic yet progressive campus, there is room for dialoguing about any and all ideas and programs that a student may (or may not) want to know about and participate in. Many of our departments are top in the nation, and the diversity of student backgrounds helps reinforce the array of scholarly perspective. Even the buildings and trees express the diversity inherent in such a large and intellectually vibrant campus.

Sather Gate
Sather Gate
Sather Gate is at one end of the main walkway at Cal. It's one of the most recognizable campus landmarks and makes for a good graduation photo shoot location!

The steps of Wheeler Hall are just one of the various places you could meet up with friends on campus. Wheeler is one of the oldest buildings at UC Berkeley and houses the English Department. A lot of humanities classes hold their largest classes in the main auditorium, as well as smaller discussions in the side rooms.
