I thought it was like any other college town...kinda like Cambridge. It didn't remind me of NYU at all. NYU is so integrated into the fabric of lower Manhattan. You can just walk from Midtown all the way down there and not really even notice the transition. You wouldn't even know you were on a college campus if it weren't for all of those purple banners hanging all over the place.
That's my point. At Berkeley you get the beneift of an actual campus (which I am sure most students appreciate) and yet you still have a funky shopping/bar area next to it.
Sounds fuzzy.
Trolleys? Are you talking about cable cars, because Philly doesnt operate cable cars. Are you talking about street cars, SF has those to, totally different.

I see what you're saying. I guess Columbia students get the benefit of having Morningside Heights (Harlem) right there. But I suppose it's not as "funky" a nabe as the Village.
You brought it up!! You were comparing cable cars to streetcars in Philly. Not the same. San Francisco has those streetcars too, I guess you didnt see them and dont know the difference anyway....
