You can attend world-class theatre, film, dance and music and stroll through a redwood grove without ever leaving Berkeley's campus. Wander off, however, and within Berkeley's 18 square miles, you can wander a rose garden, shop for Tibetan jewelry, or play a round of golf.
Just a 15-minute BART ride away is the city of San Francisco, with its neighborhoods, cable cars, culture, nightlife, and countless activities. Beyond lies wine country, the most beautiful seaside towns, Yosemite National Park, and the ski resorts of Lake Tahoe.
