While residing at a campus ministry facility beside the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, students have the opportunity for spiritual bonding and intellectual growth in a more intensive and intimate environment than is possible during the school year. They are supervised and led by a tutor in the Torrey Honors Institute and are able to interact with other stimulating leaders.
