ADJUSTING to the SURROUNDINGS In a country where lush lawns and white winters are the norm for the typical idea of it ' s prestigious institutes of higher education there are those that tend to be a place all their own. A place where the win- ters are not white but bright and sunny and the lawns are lush all year round. Where else could this but UC Berkeley. Sur- rounded by the beauty of the San Francisco Bay, not only are you getting a top notch education at the best public school around but you can ' t pick a better surrounding to lull into adulthood than here. Its beautiful sights are endless and e ' en when you be- come tired of exploring the City , Berkeley has a lot to say for itself too. Exploring the campus and the Berkeley Oakland hills can leave you with no desire to make the 1 2 hour BART trip to the city. At times it seems as though people migrate from around the state, country and the world to congregate here. But fret not, there will always be a familiar face around the corner. Whether or not it ' s your first time alone and independent from your parents, you ' re never really alone. Berkeley has the incredible ability to put two people from the same comer of the world, who have never met before in the right place at the right time to make you feel a little less home-sick when you ' re tired of the big Bay Area and long for home. -Lucy Tarin Yet another beautiful site in Berkeley is the moon rising above the International house that is at the base of the Ber- keley hills.

Wliere you could come from any- where in the world and yet always meet someone from home y ou never met before. Building the Foundation
