I'd like to say I've visited an unusual number of college campuses across the country. Without getting serious about counting them up, it's gosh, over 30. Most of the major schools on the West Coast, as well as quite a few in the middle and sad East. IMO, the Berkeley campus is not only unique. It is uniquely and majestically gorgeous. Nowhere, not UW, not Boulder, not NAU, not Eugene or any other place supposedly located in picturesque places, can begin to compare to the views from the Berkeley campus out over the Bay and Golden Gate into the settting sun, or the shimmering hills on a Saturday morning. And the old granite buildings, and redwoods, and Strawberry Creek. Faculty Glade. To be in a place so spectacularly beautiful, beneath the Campanile, and among the buildings that house the brightest minds in the world, is an overwhelming joy for me.

No words, despite my efforts here, begin to convey what that campus means to me.
