Hi,
I was wondering how I should choose between housing option, if anyone can recommend an affordable housing in the residence halls, etc.
Also, does anyone recommend the Berkeley Student Cooperative?
Note that the student budgets for financial aid purposes are different for on-campus and off-campus housing.

The dorm rates are listed here, and vary by type of room:

You can click on the links to see example room sizes.
The BSC co-op rates are significantly less expensive than the amount for room and board in the off-campus budget:
