[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure that it "has it all," but of course UC Berkeley is an excellent school.

<<With a crime rate of 65 per one thousand residents, Berkeley has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. ... Within California, more than 99% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Berkeley.>>

Yes Berkley is smack in the middle of a high crime area,  kind of like USC and Yale.  But, it doesn't seem to stop people from wanting to apply to Yale or think of Yale has the pits.[/quote]

I lived in Berkeley for a while. The south part of Berkeley has relatively high crime rates but it depends on the neighborhood, some neighborhoods are reasonably safe (I lived there too). The other parts are pretty safe. The northern hill is very safe but also very expensive.[/quote]
