@wolverinealum My daughter is at University of Michigan and my son just committed to Cal. He has three cousins there and we are from Silicon Valley about an hour away. The social or “normal” students are all in Greek life. My son plans to rush a frat immediately to find his “people”. Greek life at Cal is not quite as active as it is at Michigan but it really is active and lively. Also there are lots of club and intramural sports. In Clark Kerr there are more athletes and more socially outgoing students. One warning to you: once your child leaves Michigan and comes to California, he will never return!
