University of California Berkeley Campus Visit
One day of splendor, as part of my three week visit to California!
University of California (UC) Berkeley’s campus is so quaint and comfortable that it rivals my alma mater — University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Berkeley has all the qualities of a university town, with the perks of a large, funky city (San Francisco) just a train ride away.
Spending a whole day in the Berkeley area was all part of my 3-week visit to the U.S. I had always wanted to visit this campus that is much spoken of in America and around the world, for its good academic program and liberal mindset. Five years ago, I didn’t even bother applying to Berkeley, because I knew my chances at being selected was so slim. That’s how competitive the place is.
Everything was so lush, and it was a glorious day to boot. It was almost graduation time, and the peak of spring, so everyone on campus looked like a happy book. I can imagine studying here would be a very fulfilling experience.
From a photographic standpoint, I tried capturing the essence of the school, the clean transport, iconic buildings, and just the campus culture of having fun. I hope you can see that in the photos above! One day I hope to be able to go back to California, San Francisco, and Berkeley!
