Hey guys,

I’m a freshman and I just finished my first Semester at Cal. My roommates and I have heard that now is a good time to go apartment hunting (my roommate needs to stay over the summer so we probably need to start soon) and we’ve decided to get an apartment on the northside of campus. Since I’m not really familiar with the north side, I was wondering if you guys could tell me more about how it is. Is the area more quiet than south side? Or is noise level complete luck, depending on who else is in your complex? Are the rooms bigger / more expensive than apartments on southside? Which areas are kind of sketchy, or are there any areas I should avoid? Is there any area on north side that you guys would recommend?

I really appreciate any tips and/or input you guys have. Thank you!
