The University of California, Berkeley, arguably the best public school in the country. The main Cal square is Sproul Plaza, where many historical civil rights protests took place. Sit on the steps of Sproul Hall and take in the moment. Be sure to also check out the Moffit Library, Cal Campanile, Memorial Stadium, and the rest of this beautiful campus.

General Directions:

Telegraph Avenue ends at the foot of the UC Berkeley campus.

Tips:

• It’s pretty easy to take a self-guided walking tour of the campus. Walk along Telegraph Ave. in the direction towards the campus and just keep on walking. You’ll immediately hit Sprowl Plaza and soon after the Sather Gate. If you look up you’ll see the Campanile, and if you keep on walking you’ll soon arrive to the stairs that lead up to it. Moffit library is not far away, and you’ll cross right by it if you stay along the same path. You’ll eventually pop-out at the North Side of campus. Go up the hill on Euclid Street and you’ll reach Piedmont Ave. Take a right and pass by some dorms, the Greek Theatre, Strawberry Creek as well as Memorial Stadium, home of the Cal Bears.
  
• Bring a bag lunch and have a picnic! There are a few good spots, my favorites are around the Campanile, Moffit Library, and near Strawberry Creek.
