“Campus feels like a mix of oak‑lined hills and intellectual buzz, the student body is fiercely bright but diverse and opinionated, the school culture leans into activism and debate, sports matter more to the surrounding town than to some students, professors are top‑tier but often busy, and the mix of research labs, Bay‑Area internships, and campus‑club life keeps the calendar packed.”
