加州大學伯克利分校介紹

UC Berkeley

加州大學伯克利分校

Academics 學術

The professors are amazing, intelligent, thoughtful, caring and always interesting. I have many courses to choose from and am so inspired by the material that I learn during the semesters that it's hard to say goodbye! The registration process is easy enough to understand. Workload in my classes is heavy. As an English major there is constant reading and you may have to work harder for an A when you have a graduate student instructor grading your papers. I often read and study at home because I learn better isolated/with no noise, but there are so many options for students to choose from on campus.這里的教授都很棒，充滿智慧，關愛學生，也一直幽默風趣。每個學期都有很多多樣的課程可以選擇，我也從中受到了很多啟發，甚至學期結束會有一些不舍。選課的過程很容易也很簡單。不過我的很多課程工作量都不小，作為一個英語專業的人，總要面對大量的閱讀，尤其是當你的老師是一位研究生的時候，更要倍加努力才能在paper上拿到A。我經常在家里閱讀學習，因為在這種安靜的環境中我能更投入學習，但是在校園里也有很多供不同需求可以學習的場所。

There are many reasons why Berkeley is the number one public university in the world.伯克利能被譽為世界上第一的公立大學還是有原因的。Berkeley-Haas is one of the best business school and the faculty and facilities live up to the school's reputation.伯克利的Haas商學院是最好的商學院之一，那里的教師和配套設施也都是很高水準的。

Campus 校園

It is a great campus maybe a little dirty on the streets but it gives the genuine look of things這里的校園很棒，雖然有一些街道有一點臟，但是這也是人們生活的印記啊。There are plenty of activities to do in San Francisco with some nice shopping areas and museums.在附近的舊金山可以有做很多有趣的活動，很棒的購物中心還有很多博物館。

I love living in Berkeley. I'm only 20 minutes away with the BART to get to one of the most vibrant cities in the country. Directly in Berkeley there is plenty to do and amazing ethnic food. Lots of hikes and shopping.我喜歡住在伯克利的感覺，20分鐘搭乘BART就能到全美最有活力的城市了，不過在伯克利本地也有很多有趣的事情，還有很棒的美食，可以登山也可以逛街。

Food 餐飲

This also gets repetitive after a while and off campus dining is usually more expensive.學校食堂的食物時間久了會重復，不過學校外的食物都會有點貴。Dining halls are pretty good in terms of healthy options, but everything gets boring and repetitive after a while.學校食堂的食物從健康角度來說還是不錯的，但是過了一段時間還是會重復，會讓人吃膩。

There is something for everyone, from Julie's Cafe and Blondie's Pizza on Southside to Urban Turbann and La Val's Pizzeria on Northside.在這里每個人都能找到適合自己的美食，無論是南邊的Julie’s Café和Blondie’s Pizza，還是北邊的Urban Turbann和La Val’s Pizzeria。?

Health & Safety 健康和安全

Although the Campus constantly requires students to take sexual assault awareness exams, the rate of crime near and on campus should not be as high as it is.雖然學校經常要求學生提高對性侵事件的關注度，校園附近的犯罪率還是有點高了Crime happens constantly but police are always on the alert. The campus makes many safety accommodations for the students like BearWalk.犯罪事件會發生，但是警察們的反應還是非常快的，學校也采取了很多保障學生安全的措施，比如BearWalk的服務。

There has been a rise in the amount of notifications we get for reported sexual assault. The school provides resources to keep students safe at night, like the night safety shuttle and BearWalk.最近我們受到的關于性侵事件的通知有所增多，不過學校也提供了很多保障學生安全的措施，尤其在晚上，比如晚上的安全巴士，還有BearWalk的服務。

Housing 住宿

Your dorming experience is really what you make of it. The Units can become a little cramped as time goes on, but Clark Kerr is a great alternative.你在宿舍生活的體驗取決于你住在哪里，Units住起來會逐漸變得有點亂，但是Clark Kerr就是不錯的代替。I personally do not like the neighborhood. Neighborhood is kinda ghetto and i have heard cars get jacked a lot, even in the school parking lot. I would rather live off campus is much cheaper and cleaner.我個人不是很喜歡校園這里的街區，有點貧民區的感覺，我聽說過開車被搶的事件，甚至發生在學校的停車場，所以我寧愿住在校外，而且校外還便宜，也更干凈。

The building structures of most of the units are pretty average and plain with the exception of Foothill. I believe what I like most about the Units is the friendliness of the students. The food served at the dining halls is pretty tasty but a lot of students complain about a few not so tasty dishes that pop up once in a while.大部分Units宿舍的樓都一般，除了Foothill，不過我喜歡住在Units因為這里的學生都很友好。附近食堂的食物還不錯，雖然也有一些學生會抱怨偶爾出現的難吃的菜。

Overall Experience 總體體驗

Berkeley has a big, beautiful campus with world-renowned programs in STEM, the Arts & Humanities, and Business. It's ivy-league quality but in a down-to-earth, wildly liberating California environment. Highly recommend for anyone serious about working in Silicon Valley OR who's passionate about social justice, the environment, animal welfare. Also has an AMAZING, massive English lit program with incredibly Ivy League-educated professors (as well as a Cambridge and Oxford). It's VERY easy to switch majors and very possible to switch degrees as well. It's a very open and flexible place, but if you're a staunch right-wing conservative, you will have a hard time. Do your research on the specific major(s) you're considering and see what the professors/programs focus on. There's no Creative Writing major and Film is focused exclusively on film history/theory (few opportunities for screenwriting/production.伯克利有一個美麗宏偉的校園，全世界著名的STEM，人文藝術以及商科等學科。在這里，常青藤的質量和開放不受束縛的加州思想并存，如果你對硅谷的工作感興趣，或是關心社會政治法制，環境動物保護等等，你都會發現這里是你的不二之選。這里的英語文學項目也非常優秀，有很多常青藤或是牛津劍橋畢業的教授。除此之外，換專業換學位都很方便。這里雖然是很開放的地方，但是你要是太右派保守，你可能還真不會好過。我建議來這里之前好好做一下關于你要選的專業的調查，有些事情可能沒有那么明顯，比如這里沒有寫作藝術的專業，電影專業也注重理論，沒怎么有實踐拍攝的機會。

Berkeley is a prestigious university. The professors make it their priority to help students succeed. However, Berkeley should be more culturally diverse.伯克利是一所聲望極高的學校，這里的教授的第一目標都是幫助他們的學生取得成功，不過，我覺得這里還是有點缺乏文化多樣性。

I think overall UC Berkeley is a very good school academically. There's plenty of ways to get involved and boost your resume outside of classes too. The biggest issue is the amount of crime. I come from Northern Ireland where we had the Troubles for over thirty years and it is one hundred times safer than Berkeley. If even a mugging occurred in NI it would be on the news. Here it's an every day thing and it is terrifying. The campus could do far more than they're doing.學術上來看，伯克利是一所十分優秀的學校，這里有各種各樣可以參與的機會，在課堂外也能學到很多東西。但是這里也有一個大問題，就是安全問題。我是從北愛爾蘭來的，那里的社會矛盾存在了三十年了，都比伯克利安全一百倍，在北愛爾蘭發生搶劫都要上新聞報道，而在這里犯罪事件已經成了家常便飯，我真的覺得學校能在這點上做的更好一些。

Party Scene 校園派對

I don't party in Berkeley because I don't smoke, do drugs, or drink and although not everyone pressures others to do so, it made me feel a little out of place-- I do like to club, chill, dance, etc. but the surroundings can be too in your face (for me). Frats and co- ops throw the biggest parties. They're alright. The party scene isn't huge here, but it's present.我不怎么參加party，因為我既不抽煙，也不吸毒，也不喝酒，即便也沒人會逼迫你做這些事情，但是在party上還是會覺得有點格格不入，我還是更喜歡去夜店玩一玩跳跳舞之類的。但是周遭的事情你又難免會看見，兄弟會姐妹會和co-ops都會開大的party，但是其實也還好，這里的party都沒有那么盛大，但是也確實能感受到他們的存在。

There are lots of great night options for transportation, which is really important for everyone, but especially useful if you're new to the area. Berkeley has a safety shuttle AND BearWalk where people will actually walk you to your destination. Plus, there's always the bus system and BART atop of Uber/ Lyft/ etc. There are a couple of chill bars (sports and regular/ classy) in Berkeley and SF is nearby so there's that outlet of fun if you don't mind a little commute.晚上出行的話交通方面有很多不錯的選項，這對于每個人來說都很重要，尤其時對附近不熟悉的人來說。學校會提供安全的巴士，和BearWalk服務，就是會有專人陪你走到你的目的地。此外，你也可以選擇公交，BART或者Uber，Lyft等等。伯克利市有一些不錯的酒吧，當然舊金山就在附近，所以只要你不介意距離還是有很多好玩的地方的。

There are parties that allow students to meet new people and take a break from hours of studying. The diverse parties add to the friendly social atmosphere at Cal and they stimulate students' social life.這里有一些讓學生們在學習之余放松心情認識朋友的party，此外，party的多樣性讓這里的社交氛圍變得更加友好，也促進了學生們互相交往。One of the student organizations that I'm involved with regularly holds dinners on Friday nights, as well as Taco Tuesdays, holiday parties, and end-of-the-year banquets. The hosts are very nice, their events usually draw large crowds, and they have a nice family atmosphere.我參與的一個學生組織會經常組織周五晚飯聚餐，還有周二Taco日，節假日的party和期末大餐。這些活動都挺不錯的，會吸引很多學生參加，很有一種大家庭的感覺。

Berkeley is one of the schools that has an actual frat row. On friday nights you will always see some kind of action happening. Saturday/Sundays you will also see some activities involving students- usually pool parties. On the other hand, SF is a greta place to hang out with friends if you're looking for great clubs伯克利有兄弟會姐妹會的房子街區，每個周五晚上你都能看到一些在開的party，周六周日也會有，而且經常會是游泳池party。此外，舊金山也是跟朋友出去玩不錯的選擇，畢竟那里有很多不錯的夜店。

Student Life 校園生活

I believe athletics and sports are a huge part of our school's highlights. Students are extremely spirited and devoted Golden Bears. From what I hear, our athletic facilities are generally in great quality.體育運動在這里是一個焦點，學生們都極其有集體榮譽感，而且就我所了解的來說，這里的體育運動設施還是非常不錯的No one is school treats someone different for the fact someone is greek. I have never seen or heard any discrimination against greek and non-greeks是否是兄弟會姐妹會的成員不會改變任何學生之間的相處模式，我從未聽說過因此產生的歧視。

I'm not in a fraternity or sorority but many throw parties. However, there are different types; some are social frats/sororities, while others are professional ones.我沒有參與兄弟會姐妹會，但是他們都會舉辦party所以多少有點了解。這里有一些不同的類型，有一些偏社交，有一些偏專業。Don't know much about the Greek system myself, but friends who are in it seem to love it.我個人不是特別了解兄弟會姐妹會，但是我有朋友在參與，他們似乎都很喜歡那里的生活。

There's a lot of school spirit and support for all of our teams. There are tons of resources available for athletes. We send more students to the Olympics than any other school.這里的集體榮譽感很高，大家都很支持校隊的比賽，運動員們也有各種可以利用的資源。從這里走出去的奧運會運動員比其他學校都要多。

The value of a degree from Berkeley is quite high. Berkeley is a highly prestigious institution and is known for its achievements as a research campus. Just attending Berkeley will offer you a huge network of opportunities, as long as you work for it.從這里拿出去的學位含金量很高，這里的名聲都來自于在各個領域研究上的成就，單單一個伯克利的名字就能給你帶來很多機會，只要你付出努力便一定會收獲很多。

If you go to Cal, you are guaranteed a job.如果你來這里，那么你就一定會找到工作There are many resources available to help you find jobs and internships.在這里你能找到很多幫助你找工作及實習的資源。
