Nobody calls it UCB, Cal-Berkeley (either Cal or Berkeley, but not both. Thats redundant), or UCal. Pretty much everyone here either calls it Cal or simply The University. Brevity comes into play when someone says, “where do you go to school?” Its too hard to say, " I go to the University of California at Berkeley!" I just say, “Cal, Beeatch!”
