UC Berkeley

A while ago, I went to Berkeley, California to visit UC Berkeley for a tour of the school. When we walked in to where the tour was meeting up, we passed by Sather Gate. Sather Gate is a landmark which leads to the center of UC Berkeley.

We also walked past the Sather Tower, which is UC Berkeley's most recognizable symbol. "It is more commonly known as THe Campanile due to its resemblance to the Campanile di San Marco in Venice." The tower is 307 feet tall or 93.6 meters tall. It is the third tallest bell and clock tower in the world. The bells on the Sather Tower range from small 19 pound bells to the 10,500 pound "Great Bear Bell."

The Doe Memorial Library is the main library in UC Berkeley. This four story structure consists of 52 miles of bookshelves. Some of Berkeley's most prized collections are in this library.

This is how the Doe Memorial Library looks outside and inside. 

Overall, it was super cool to see how the school looked like. UC Berkeley is one of the schools that I would like to go to for college.
