Can you only sign up for housing (for spring admits) after you agree to go there, or after you get into the FPF program? I saw the screencap for the acceptance letter for fall 2007, and there was a link that said something like "apply for housing", but that link was replaced with "enroll in the FPF program" on my spring admit letter..
I think you have a pretty good chance of getting your roommate if both of you request each other. They're usually pretty good about that kind of thing. As for when you apply, I don't remember the exact dates, but I think FPF students apply later than fall admits, and I'm almost 100% sure you apply for housing after the deadline for your SIR, which means you will have already decided to come to Berkeley by the time you apply for housing.

I would recommend the units. Most freshmen stay in those. Unit 1 and 2 are pretty nice and unit 3 is a little old but it's decent. We can always start another thread in this forum about dorms.
