    Berkeley City College has an atmosphere of cultural diversity, creativity, and a devotion to academic and self-enrichment that I genuinely enjoy and benefit from. Because of BCC's location in downtown Berkeley, there are students from all walks of life - simply attending Berkeley City College can be a social and cultural learning experience in and of itself. It is very easy to make friends and to build relationships with the professors, as the diverse atmosphere of the college is one of tolerance for all types of people... The students and staff of Berkeley City College are very happy to interact with one another.
