Campus Housing at University of California - Berkeley

Life at Cal

For me this experience has been amazing. Living on my own away from my family has been hard but very much worth while. I live in the dorms more specifically the all girl dorm. All I have to say about it is don't dismiss the option. If you are a person who needs quiet time to study definitely Stern is the place to go. All of Unit four is perfect for that. If you want more of a social atmosphere then the Units one, two and three are right for you. All I can say is from my personal experience but I love living in stern for one since I am a science major all my classes are super close by. I am literally a minute away from some of my classes. Berkeley is a huge school so proximity of classes is important. Aside from that another plus to living in Stern is you get to hear the concerts that happen in the Greek Theater for free because we are located right next to the Theater. Another plus about Stern is that the rooms are much larger than the other Units which makes a difference when living with one or two other people. Campus live is easy going people are always doing something and you will see how relaxed the campus atmosphere is. We are located about an hour by bus from San Francisco. The public transportation is good enough that you can get around without a car. Berkeley is amazing and is a place that any one can call home. There is a place for everyone and a club that can fit whatever your interests maybe. We are not all hippies if thats a deciding factor you better rethink those reasons. Berkeley is a place where everyone can find out who they are and be free to explore that.

Scholarships at University of California - Berkeley

Oh...Finaid

Well getting financial aid is easily. Once you have your berkeley account you get alotted a certain amount. In Fall, it takes forever for your financial aid to pay out. It changes frequently and something worries you because it drops. Eventually it gets fixed and then it gets paid out. In Spring, its much faster and smoother.
