Berkeley is a beautiful campus - however, as I often reminded incoming
students, it is also an urban campus, the lovely grounds
notwithstanding. During the day it's not a problem, but at night it
always pays to know where you're going and how you're going to get
there. Campus used to offer an escort service after dark. Housing is
always a pinch in Berkeley, but I was fortunate and found a really nice
place a block across the border to north Oakland. If I'd had time for a
social life, I definitely would have taken advantage of the proximity of
San Francisco. But the campus has excellent recreational facilities and
four star cultural events. If you're craving ANY kind of cuisine, I'd
challenge you to *not* find it in the immediate Bay Area.
