Places to Have a Quiet Cry at UCB π’πΏ
1οΈβ£ UC Botanical Garden Home to over 13,000 plant species, this serene garden offers both open areas and secluded greenhouses π³πΊ. Open until 5:00 PM. When there are fewer visitors, you can find solitude on a bench or along a shaded path. 2οΈβ£ Top of Sather Tower Climb the 90-meter-tall Campanile for a sweeping view of the campus and the Bay Area ππ. The wide horizon can be surprisingly calming. The bell chimes at noon and in the evening, adding a reflective atmosphere to the moment. 3οΈβ£ Big C Hilltop A 20-minute hike east of campus leads you to the giant βCβ on the hill ποΈβοΈ. Itβs usually quiet with panoramic views of the SF Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. At night, itβs a perfect spot under the stars for some deep thinking. 4οΈβ£ Berkeley Rose Garden About a 10-minute drive from campus, this garden features thousands of roses and stone terraces πΉπ. At sunset, with the bay and San Francisco skyline in the background, itβs ideal for quiet healing. #UCBerkeley #InternationalStudents #StudyInUSA #CampusLife #Berkeley #StudentWellness π
