UC Berkeley: your campus, neighborhood and downtime
Studying around Berkeley / Bay Area: organize your campus start and explore your everyday options.
Your base: Berkeley / Bay Area
UC Berkeley has its own international office. Check arrival appointments, orientation, housing and student-status conditions there. Employment and internships have separate rules.
Around your campus
Use the campus calendar and official information about libraries and the UC Botanical Garden. Berkeley is in the Bay Area, not LA: plan local activities and any LA trip separately.
Make your week practical
Compare housing distance, class schedules, transport and groceries. Some facilities may be included, but do not assume free access without checking. Use actual quotes in the savings check.
Current calendar
These are exploration ideas, not confirmed events for today. Check dates, access and opening hours with the campus or venue.
