UC Berkeley can be an intimidating place to get used to, and living away from home for the first time can be pretty overwhelming. Although you’ll get the hang of things as you begin to live in Berkeley, it’s so much easier to have a guide to cover all your basic needs and more. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, also known as “the pyramid of happiness,” there are five levels of human needs that make us happy.
