Sightseeing
UC Berkeley, our Alma Mater, is a beautiful university campus with a lot of history. It is ranked one of the top universities in the world. We recommend taking a stroll down telegraph avenue, Piedmont ave ("Fraternity road), and taking a ride up the campanile- the bell tower. If possible, take a drive up to Lawrence Berkeley museum for an amazing view of the Bay Area.
