U.C BERKELEy(:
Last week on February 17, 2010 we went to U.C Berkeley. It was an interesting experience that i will never forget. There were a lot of things that impressed me like the students, the classes , and the campus lifestyle. I didn’t expect much from this trip, but I learned a lot.
To start off the students that went to u.c berkeley seamed motivated that they were there. They have their own say and have freedom. What I mean by that is that they could do whatever they want like make up clubs and such. Not a single face seamed to be unhappy. Instead each student looked yet filled with joy and happiness that they were there. Students come from all over the world just to come to this amazing college.
The classes at U.C Berkeley are big and small. Some classes have about eight hundred students. The classes that are small are taught by grad students. The girl who was tour guide told us that we don’t have to take a lot of classes but yet again it depends on what everyone is trying to do , so it’s not like high school. Another thing that she said is that no one is there to help you manage time so we all have to figure that out on our own. It takes about three hours per class to do homework and to prepare for the classes. There is a lot of reading involved too.
Another thing I got to see and explore is the campus lifestyle. The freshmen are forced to live on campus their first year. It might sound bad but it is a good opportunity to get to met people all around you. There are a lot of activities at the school and people all around so you would never be bored. The campus is very pretty and unique. It has a lot a buildings and there are 27 libraries filled with millions of books. There is a greek goddess on top of the main library. The students believe that if you were to go in through that door that she gives you good luck through your test and if you go out through the same way you came in, she takes it back.
U.C Berkeley is the place to be at. Everything is so amazingly beautiful about it, like the library and the buildings. There is also a lot of history behind the school. As I told you before I didn’t expect much but learned a lot and I could honestly say that I fell in love with the school once I took my very first step on it.
