<p>I was wondering the same thing but my friend from Cal told me this</p>
<p>-Berkeley is relatively safe, very nice campus and city
-AMAZING FOOD
-There are hippies and homeless people but they are relatively safe and not criminals
-Tons of CHEAP and GOOD FOOD around
-The city can be kind of dangerous at night at some areas, but most is safe
-The campus overall gets quite a number of visits from homeless people wondering but they’re just funny
-the bay is beautiful
-the labs are located by some hill</p>
