Tucked into the tree-lined neighborhoods of Westwood, this major Los Angeles institution has been shaping California's higher education landscape since 1919. What began as an extension of the state university system grew into the University of California's second campus, now drawing the largest student body across all UC schools. The competitive admissions process reflects just how sought-after a spot here really is—in 2005, roughly one in four applicants from a pool exceeding 47,000 freshmen hopefuls secured enrollment. Winter months bring a particular charm to the sprawling grounds, with crisp mornings and clear skies ideal for traversing the campus and soaking in its academic energy without the intensity of fall semester chaos.

The University of California, Berkeley (also known as UC Berkeley, Berkeley, Cal, and by other names, see below) is the oldest and flagship campus of the ten-campus University of California system. Founded in 1868, the campus is located in Berkeley, California, occupying about 200 acres on a wooded slope, plus an additional 1000 acres (4 km²) of largely undeveloped land in the Oakland hills overlooking San Francisco Bay.<br> Berkeley still enjoys a certain notoriety for its history of student activism. The Free Speech Movement (1964), a protest that began when the university tried to remove political pamphleteers from campus[1], and the People's Park riots (1969) were part of a wave of international student protest that took place during the 1960s, associated with an accompanying "hippie" counterculture. For all of its student activism and rebellious history, however, the Berkeley campus is remarkably serene, with numerous quiet, green areas on campus and many architecturally distinguished buildings. <a http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>
