<p>Berkeley’s campus is really small compared to most other campuses - you can easily walk across it in 10 minutes. Don’t choose a dorm based on distance.</p>
<p>I lived in Unit 3 for two years and there were a lot of EECS/other engineering majors on my floor both years. You need to live in a unit to get the full freshman year experience. It seriously felt like everyone got a giant infusion of Cal spirit during their first weekend in the units. I can’t think of one person from my floors who wasn’t happy or didn’t love Berkeley.</p>
<p>The only complainers I know are people who chose to live in Foothill, completely missed out on having a social life, and blamed Berkeley for it. Do not be one of these people!</p>
