It had been ages since my time as a student so I decided to fire up the old internet and take a look at the local news surrounding it.

Ever since 1868, the University of California has maintained a reputation of excellence in their campus, their curriculum and the quality of students and graduates they churn out each and every year. One look at the campus and you can instantly tell that this is a serious university where higher learning is the ultimate goal and a secret treasure nestled deep within an immaculate and gorgeous grounds.

If you need more proof of the university’s prowess and excellence than you need only consult the facts. Berkley faculty and alumni have accounted for 70 Nobel prizes and that’s just the icing on the cake. Did you know that J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientific director of the Manhattan Project that gave the world the first atomic bomb, was a Berkley physicist? And there is so much more to the legacy, but it wouldn’t all fit on one post. You really ought to see it for yourself.

The school is consistantley well ranked among all other colleges but to most people that may take a back seat to the beautiful area and loads of atmosphere surounding it. Berkeley has one of the highest number of distinguished graduate programs ranked in the top 10 in there field, but still when most people think about The University Of California at Berkeley the first thing that pops into there head are babes and beaches. Honestly though i dont think that there is anything wrong with people associating the school with the atmosphere more then the education. It just goes to show that the school offers the best of both worlds. Thats the huge reason why the population increase has been so huge. Students know that when going there they are able to get a great education with an institution that looks good on there degree, but they are also able to have all kinds of fun outside of school around the Berkeley campus or just in California in general. In the end being able to offer both an education and fun is what keeps Berkeley growing year after year.

The University of Berkeley was actually a merger of two institutes – the private College of California in Oakland, which offered courses in Latin, English, history, Greek, mathematics and natural history, and the Agricultural, Mining and Mechanical Arts College. The former college had little funding but a desirable piece of land, while the latter was state-funded but did not have a campus by then. Hence the merger served towards both the schools’ advantage.
The university initially had about 10 faculty members and only 40 students in 1869, which reached to about 200 students by 1873. Due to this increase, the then UC President Henry Durant relocated to the new campus in Berkeley right next to the Strawberry Creek.
In the early decades of the 20th century, the University of California spread out to Los Angeles and beyond (with 10 state-wide campuses today). However, the Berkeley campus remains its flagship institution till today.
