07.24.2009 - Berkeley will remain great, but will it retain its public character?

What sets Berkeley apart from Ivy League universities is the nature of our student body. Over one-third of our large student body of 25,000 undergraduates receives Federal Pell Grants, that is, their family income is under $45,000 per year. This is more than the number of Pell Grant recipients in all of the Ivy League universities combined. Even more remarkable, one-sixth of our undergraduates, over 4000 students, come from families whose income is $20,000 per year or less. Some 30% of our students are the first in their family to attend a four-year college.
