6. I would recommend students who are new to the area to check out Day in the Bay and Intro to the City of Berkeley because you will start to feel more familiar with your surroundings.
I would also suggest checking out at least a few of the evening events since they are a great time to meet new people and make friends. -Zeyana
Apart from Day in the Bay and events that show you around the area, I think participating in debriefs for different events such as Bear Pact. On the Same Page will be very exciting and enlightening- I mean, how can you discuss the Hamilton musical and not want to make revolution and fight for justice? -Prathyush
I would suggest the Campus Resource Fair as a great opportunity to find out what is available at your dispense when you need it. Being in Berkeley's grind of things, it's easy to become overwhelmed and knowing these resources would make your life a million times easier. -Aniket
