University of California Berkeley - UCB

Life at Berkeley blends research and reflection, the scientific with the artistic, and the scholarly with the athletic. The students come from different places and backgrounds, but together they create a diverse and kinetic community that seeks to create a better world. From performing arts to public service to gender and identity, there are hundreds of student organizations to connect your passions with your campus experience.

A good place for incoming freshmen is one of the on-campus housing options. Freshmen admitted to the fall semester receive a two-year housing guarantee, and in the past few years, 95% or more of entering freshmen live in university housing. Berkeley also offers options suited for transfer students and students with families.
