It has been a hub of ideas and innovation
 
Home to an institution attracting the best and brightest from across the country, and right at the heart of an area that draws in people from places and cultures all across the globe, it really should be no surprise that Berkeley’s culture is hard to sum except as a melting pot on the grandest scale.
