Hey everyone, I'm new around here and was pondering about Cal Berkeley. I know it's in California but what city is it located in? Is it in a big city or a smaller town?
Hello and welcome to the forum! To answer your question, the University of California, Berkeley, often referred to as Cal Berkeley, is located in the city of Berkeley, California. Berkeley is technically a city, but it has more of a college town feel due to the university's dominance. It's nestled right across the bay from San Francisco, so residents and students have accessibility to both a larger urban area and the snugger, community-oriented vibes of Berkeley itself. Berkeley has its own charm with places like Telegraph Avenue providing a variety of small businesses, restaurants, and shops. The university's location offers a unique blend of small-town comfort and big-city opportunities!
