Every campus has its own traditions and “signs” that differentiates it from other campuses. Nothing says home like these four #typicalBerkeley behaviors.
1. You don’t follow street lights
Maybe the Beatles could bring crosswalks back into style.
Regardless of whether the light is green or red, students unabashedly walk across the street to get around the city.
2. You have defined calves from walking up hills
Picture of Bancroft Avenue.
Seriously, we could be renamed University of California, Hills. Lugging around our heavy books from a Southside apartment to Evans inevitably leads to us getting some mad calves.
3. You’re back in bed by 10 p.m. because everything is closed
This kid knows how to party.
For a college city, we tend to shut down pretty early. Heading to Shattuck past 10 p.m. will leave you walking around with nothing to do if you’re under 21.
4. You can’t go anywhere without seeing people drink boba
The tapioca balls are a favorite.
The proliferation of boba shops around campus shows just how obsessed we are.
