Guy from prestigious private school: I got into UC Berkeley, but wanted to meet people with important parents who won't want to shine my shoes for a dollar.

Berkeley's Chinatown disguised as a University that used to have a racially diverse student body that protested against social issues back in the 70's. Now its just Chinese kids trying to get medical degrees and Indians trying to get engineering degrees. This is especially obvious the minute you walk out of UC Berkeley and notice that sudden abnormal re-occurrence of Black and White people, and some Asian Americans here and there.
Haven for Asian Foreigners.
They tried to make it more diverse by being 'officially racist' and just give Asians higher test goals. (see: Affirmative Action) Funny thing is, it didn't even work.
Still an awesome school to go to however, just don't expect to be able to speak their official language, 'Mandarin.'

Out-of-State student: "Woah, there's a lot of Asians at UC Berkeley, jeez, look at this campus. So this is what California's racial demographics are like"
Berkeley Resident Student: "Ha....Let's take a walk."
Out-of-State student: "Where?"
Berkeley Resident student: "How about, a couple steps out the gate."
Out-of-state student: ".......Holy shit! Where'd all the Asians go?"
Berkeley Resident student: "They didn't go anywhere. Most of them just aren't from Berkeley."
Out-of-state student: "The fuck, is that a Black person?"
Berkeley Resident student: "Oh yeah, they're like the largest secondary minority here. They just don't live in UC Chinatown. Gotta get out more, man."

a not soo hard college to get into. ranked around 20 in the nation. has many asians and like 0 whites. full of homeless people, liberal fags, and hippies. the chicks are fugly but after awhile you get what i call the "Berkeley Eye" see Triton Eye. Apparently it has a good engineering program but thats about it. It is like between Stanford and UCLA.
Homeless guy: Hey give me a dollar
Me: *runs away*
I see this homeless guy and he turns around. he isnt a homeless guy but a student
Person 1: Hey where do you go to college?
Person 2: Stanford
Person 1: Respect.

AKA Cal. Known for liberal politics and perfect campus location. What the hell is in Palo Alto anyway? Stanford party scene my ass. The typical Stanford party: eat a bag of Milano cookies and stay up till the tonight show. You are hella weak. Also Berkeley was rated #1 public school in the nation...AGAIN. Stanford, what can I say, not good enough for the Ivy Leaguers not tight enough for the bay. That must suck.

The first and best school in the Universtiy of California system. Located in Berkeley, CA, Cal is one of the most diverse and exciting campuses in the world. Cal offers a world class education at a great price. It is regarded as the top public university and is home to busuiness and engineering schools that are usually ranked in the top 3 overall and often #1 worldwide. A terrific place for anyone looking for a great education, world class professors, interesting people, and great sports teams (GO BEARS).

1) Hey! That guy has a really distorted and biased view of UC-Berkeley!
2) UC-Berkeley is one of the world's best schools.
3) UC-Berkeley is underrated on USNews's rankings. (Endowment per student is taken into consideration, so public schools are at an inherent disadvantage)
4) UC-Berkeley rules.
