Berkeley College, Yale University
Berkeley College is a residential college at Yale University, opened in 1934. The eighth of Yale's 14 residential colleges, it was named in honor of Bishop George Berkeley (1685–1753), dean of Derry and later bishop of Cloyne, in recognition of the assistance in land and books that he gave to Yale in the 18th century. Built on the site of a group of buildings known from the 1890s until 1933 as the Berkeley Oval, the college was renovated in 1998. It is distinct for having two courtyards connected by an underground tunnel.
Annual traditions include the Berkeley Birthday Dinner for fellows and seniors, Thunder Brunch, Lunar New Year's Feast, a snowball fight (which pits North Court against South Court), GLO (a blacklight party), and the Bishop Bash, which was founded in the spring of 2002 by Ben Reiter and Charles Finch under the guidance of the Head's Office.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Yale’s Berkeley College has one of the best college dining halls in the country. It is the testing ground for an experimental organic food and sustainable produce and new menu items before they go on menus in the other dining halls. Up until 2009 it had a dining plan overseen by celebrity chef Alice Waters.l Currently, the dining hall is seen by a local celebrity chef who started in 2014, thereby not rescinding its unique status. It still remains an immensely popular place to eat, largely due to its central location on campus. It also boosts some of the best food on campus.
