Spring admits usually get housing it seems.

It's not that they necessarily get housing, it's that it's not too difficult to find housing if you're a spring admit. If you're a spring admit and want on-campus housing, your chances are decent but still around ~50%. Off-campus is pretty easy to find in the spring however, with Telegraph Commons a good option I heard for incoming spring admits.

If you come in as a spring admit and go through fall extensions and all that, do you miss anything?

Not at all. In Fall Extension, all your classes (except English classes) are in a converted seminary building right next to Unit 2, and since most, if not all your classes will be very close to each other in the same building, your first semester is quite easy to manage, plus the "professors" I had were great at teaching the class material, despite the fact that only a few of them had a doctorate (interestingly my most enjoyable classes were taught by those with just masters degrees, and Ph.D candidates. Apparently the most intelligent people in Berkeley don't necessarily have doctorates). In the spring, you go straight to on-campus. As for housing, you can still get on-campus housing if you're a Fall Extension student, and I am in a Unit 3 corner triple (MUCH more spacious that a converted triple, which is a double room but with 3 beds). Plus, it's worth noting that Fall Extension students on average have higher first semester grades than a regular fall admits.
