Berkeley sounds incredible but I'm not sure where to find it on a map. Can anyone help me out here?
The University of California, Berkeley, often referred to as UC Berkeley or simply as Berkeley, is located in Berkeley, California. It's situated near the western coast of the United States, specifically in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's approximately 10 miles east of San Francisco and adjacent to Oakland.
If you were to look at a map of the U.S., you'd look for California on the far left/west side. Now, focus on the central part of the state's coastline and find the San Francisco Bay, a large body of water that cuts inland. The city of Berkeley is located on the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay.
If you're trying to locate it on a digital map, like Google Maps, you can simply search for "UC Berkeley" or "University of California, Berkeley" and it should take you directly to the campus area.
