<p>How is the school spirit at Berkeley? I am deciding between Berkeley and Umich and while I accept that I cannot compare the two, I really would like to go to games and feel like I'm really part of a spirited school. Do Berkeley students go to football/basketball games? </p>
<p>I did. The thing about Berkeley, and probably most large universities, is that there are multiple communities. It’s not a monoculture.</p>
<p>Some of the communities that come to mind: Greek life, ASUC, political activism, athletics/school spirit, “elite” students within each major (the type that do URAP, honors, etc). There are more, of course.</p>
<p>If you make a habit of showing up to athletic events, you’ll find plenty of likeminded people. If you’re really serious about it, join Rally Com. Those people are hardcore. </p>
