can you give me some information about Berkeley?

I've only been there once, (for the January 2003 anti-war assembly in Frisco) but I must say Berkeley is well worth a visit.  The city is just north of Oakland on the east shores of the San Francisco Bay.  Much of the university is built on a hillside overlooking the bay.  There are several quaint co-op student houses on the eastern, uphill side of the campus.  \n \nBerkeley's climate is temperate and moderate all year round, with spring- and fall-like temperatures even at the peak of summer or winter.  Berkeley also gets slightly more rain than most other Bay localities.  The moisture and summer coolness allows for a somewhat greener landscape with a mix of eucalyptus/palms, conifers, and deciduous trees.  As a resident of western Oregon I felt quite at home in the mini-forest on Berkeley's hillside.  \n\nThe downtown has a lot of shops and small businesses.  There's also, from what I've been told, a ton of independent and alternative-type radio and music in the town.  Berkeley, of course, has a reputation for radical politics due to the 1960s student movements, but in reality this stereotype is overexaggerated.  The political balance is liberal but no more so than any other liberal city.  (UC Berkeley did, however, have a fairly strong chapter of the International Socialist Organization in 2002-03.)  \n\nBerkeley is well worth a visit, and I hope I get to visit again someday, but I'm not sure if I'd want to live there.  It probably is a pretty good place to live if you can afford the slightly higher rents than you'd find in Oakland (but in Oakland the culture is less enlightened and far less idealistic).  I never understood why affordable housing and leftist politics don't geographically overlap more than they do.

You can't find this information on UC Berkeley's website?  It should be there if you look around.  Or, heck, call them.  The admissions office should be able to tell you, or connect you with whoever can.

Berkeley without a doubt is harder. University of Phoenix - if you're talking about the one on every other block - isn't a real university and - if there is a University Phoenix in Arizona - its not very reputable.

I don't know, but I almost accepted a job there a couple of years ago. And, while I was researching it, I discovered that it's a great place to live. The people are very well-educated and interesting. Based on what I learned then, I recommend it to you.

I would think the answer is yes.  Except for you say you are in Berkeley, in which case the answer is probably no.

as far as california goes san luis obispo is still northern california.  beach towns to the south, 5-cities, pismo, arroyo grande...  rural farming/wineries to the north, atasacadero, templeton, paso robles.  many in these areas still leave their keys in their cars and don't lock their doors at night.  the school is outstanding both students and faculty.  the only trouble i've heard was about 8yrs ago a female student was killed in her off campus apartment.  i don't remember if they ever figured-out who/why.  but thats 1 in the 25yrs I've been in the area.

There's plenty of them.  If I were you, I would check out the following:\n\nUniversity of California at Berkeley\nUniversity of California at Santa Cruz\nCalifornia Institute of Technology\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\nUniversity of Michigan at Ann Arbor\nPrinceton University\nStanford University\nTexas Tech University\nYale University\n\nThat's a list of those that I know to be good for engineering and technology, plus a few that are just so good generally they are bound to be worthwhile.\n\nGood luck!
