Ektaylor · 05-01-2008, 02:16 PM

Here are the meal plans:

Ambassador (100 meals) $530.00@ $5.30/meal
Gold Passport (75 meals) $405.00 @ $5.40/meal

duogmeg · 05-01-2008, 02:19 PM

Wait... you guys are filling out the Cal housing app? Can you post a link for me or something? I can't find it...

EDIT: never mind, Cal says you have to wait two days after SIR is recieved to apply... guess I'm just too eager...

Ektaylor · 05-01-2008, 02:25 PM

Guadiangel, the first two prices are for the Fall and Spring semester, respectively; the last price is for the entire academic year.

And I have heard the food is terrible; but, you could always buy a minimal meal plan there, and buy a medium sized meal plan at the UCB dining commons.

Guardiangel · 05-01-2008, 03:10 PM

hmm... if i have mandatory summer school in berkeley how do the fees apply?

Ektaylor · 05-01-2008, 03:14 PM

You apply for summer session housing; the accommodations are listed in the link below:

btw....
C: 8 Week – Double

$2,122

C: 8 Week – Single

$2,735

single and double only 600 difference... won't it better to pay 600 dollars more and get privacy? >_>

joyjoybear · 05-01-2008, 03:47 PM

Hey guys... I am confused!
What is the I-House?

I only see Unit 1,2,3, CLARK KERR CAMPUS, STERN, BOWLES and FOOTHILL...
Living at Cal - Rates

As a transfer, we can only apply for Unit 1,2,3??
Which one do you guys think is better?

joyjoybear · 05-01-2008, 03:52 PM

onigengkishan.... My reception details are indicated that it's locates in San Digeo~~~
Do you think I can go to the one in Los Angeles instead?

Ektaylor · 05-01-2008, 04:15 PM

I-House (International House), is quasicampus housing; you have to apply to it seperate from the UCB housing application.

Refer to the below link for information, etc:

International House Berkeley: Student housing complex and multi-cultural program center

Guardi, I think they reserve singles to Grad-students.
