College Visit Reflective Essay

March 5, 2010 grrrpreetsingh

Our college visit to UC Berkeley was very interesting and I enjoyed learning about what it has to offer me. When we got to Berkeley, I expected a totally different outlook on it in many ways, from the students to the architecture. There were many things that surprised me that I didn’t know about. Some other things that impressed me were like the classes they had to offer and the way the faculties are run from housing, campus life and more.

The first thing that caught my eyes when we reached Berkeley was the size of the campus. I didn’t expect it to take up so much space, and by the way it is in the middle of residential and business areas with companies and homes. Another thing that was interesting that I didn’t know was how different age groups attend Berkeley. I thought there would be students straight out of high school, but there were others there to get their degrees in their professions.

Another thing that impressed me about the visit to Berkeley was what was required to get an admission. Students applying have to have high SAT scores and take certain exams to even be considered. Some things that I knew about my visit were about the campus life, the housing, and how students live. Most of them live in dorms, but some have fraternities and sororities.

Our college trip to Berkeley was a good experience and I learned a lot of things about college life and what it takes to be successful. It is a very different environment than our high school. My expectations on the trip were very high because Berkeley is a well respected school. I had a great time learning new things and the important ones like what’s required and what’s available if we need help with any regards. These were my expectations and surprises on this visit.
