This corner at Center and Oxford Streets is part of the well-traveled path to the Downtown Berkeley BART Station.
Cal can be a crazy campus and often feels overwhelming, but at the end of the day it's important to keep yourself grounded and to take care of yourself. So many of us study and work hard, but it's crucial to take care of our minds and bodies. There are a lot of resources to help you, and your fellow students are probably your best support system.

Some background on commuters at Cal
- Of the 4,157 incoming freshmen in Fall 2006, 3-5% did not live in University housing.
- Most undergraduates who do not live in Berkeley live in Oakland, Albany, Orinda, San Francisco, or in Alameda County, south of Oakland.
- The next most populated areas outside of Berkeley are Emeryville, Alameda, El Cerrito, and Richmond.
(Unless otherwise noted, student housing and transportation statistics were generated from results of the undergraduate Student Transportation Study by the Office of Student Research in 2005.)
