Visiting Berkeley

A visit to the campus is the best way to find out what UC Berkeley has to offer.  No matter how much you've read or heard about Berkeley, nothing can compare to seeing it for yourself.  We hope that you will take us up on this invitation:  tour the campus, listen to an admissions presentation, explore the surrounding area, and talk informally to some of the people in the Berkeley campus community.
