University of California, Berkeley

Southside

Wander one of America's most storied public universities, where Gothic spires meet redwood groves and the echoes of the Free Speech Movement still hum through Sproul Plaza. Climb Sather Tower for panoramic Bay views, catch the carillon's daily concerts, and stroll Strawberry Creek through 1,200 acres of hills, history, and intellectual energy.
