<p>“Funded by the Y & H Soda Foundation and named in honor of Y. Charles and Helen Soda as a tribute to their lifelong commitment to education and youth in the Bay Area. Although it is a classroom and office building, Soda Hall has many of the trappings of a residence hall (including showers, kitchenettes, and lounges with soft sofas) to accommodate the many Computer Science students who never seem to leave the building.”</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>Well, Soda Hall looks like one giant bathroom. It has those colorful ceramic tiles all over it. It’s a rather ugly building. Then again, all these varied buildings is what makes the Cal (Berkeley) campus so cool. I mean, all these other private colleges look like they had an over-order of red bricks and thus resort to building everything with them. The Cal campus is so pretty and varied. I really hope I get in to Berkeley.</p>
<p>Soda hall has a great name (and description).</p>
<p>I was there today for an interview and I thought the whole building, inside and out, was very nice.</p>
<p>One of the things about Berkeley is that before you use to be able to look straight down from the center of campus and be able to see the bay. I don’t know if it was part of the charter or anything (can’t recall) but it was a principle when it was first built. That changed with soda hall. Hence, everyone hates it.</p>
<p>Can you not see it from the campinile?</p>
<p>Whoops, I was thinking Evans.</p>
