The Daily Californian:

It is 8 a.m. on a Monday morning, and 2050 Valley Life Sciences Building is bustling with Biology 1B students.

To spot Kiavash Garakani, you have to look closely. He sits quietly with his palms facing down. Under a thick set of glasses, he watches the crowd file into the room. Like most of his classmates, this fall is Kiavash’s first semester at UC Berkeley.

Like them, on top of juggling classes all day, he is trying to make new friends on a campus of more than 30,000 students. Unlike any of his classmates, Kiavash is only 12.

Kiavash and his older sister, who also came to campus at the age of 12, are the youngest students to enroll at UC Berkeley in at least 17 years, according to campus data.
