I had a very fun time in my visit to UC Berkeley. I learned more about what it takes to get into college and how much work you have to put in. My favorite part was being able to learn more about the campus and it’s history. I think that the campus has a nice atmosphere to it. You can just tell that people that study there are focused and determined on what they want to do, they don’t goof off with their work. Even though my expectations weren’t fully met, I still learned a lot by going to visit UC Berkeley.
On my visit to UC Berkeley, I had expected to see more things on the tour. For example, seeing the dorms and going into more of the buildings. Also I was hoping that we would get to see some of the sororities and fraternities because they seem really interesting. One of my expectationd that was met was that the campus is very big. I think that almost everyone got tired from all the walking we did during the tour. Another thing that met my expectations was that there are many students attending UC Berkeley. It didn’t really surprise me because of how popular the school is for provinding a good education. I think that what I most expected was to be able to go into the classrooms. I wanted to see how it would feel like to actually be in there. Also, it would have been nice to talk to some of the professors.
What surprised me during the visit to UC Berkeley was that it’s a type of school where the students hang around and chill with each other. Also that there are many activities that are avaliable for the students. I think what surprised me the most was that you can create your own class. you can teach your class to other students and get credit for it. I think that it is a fun way to get more credits in college. Another thing that surprised me was that the dorms and other types of housing aren’t on campus. This means that the students need to get used to walking around. Personally I like that because you get a good exercise everyday.
I learned a lot on the field trip to UC Berkeley. Even though it wasn’t exactly how I pictured it, I learned many things I never knew about the school. I would like to go back some day because it’s one of the colleges I consider going to. I know I have to work really hard to get in though. Overall it was a great experience and I’m glad I went.
