did the cost of attendance increase significantly after your son started renting?

No, his off campus housing is cheaper than living in the dorm.

What happens to the students that miss out on registering for those classes, do they have to revert to a different specialization?

UCB EECS is very flexible and open ended. There are no “specializations” defined by the department. This is beneficial since a student’s interests may evolve and change over time. After taking the required lower division courses for the major, students choose any combination of upper division courses they want, typically starting in their second year, giving students time to explore in both breadth and depth. If you are not able to take a specific class of interest in any particular semester (due to being wait listed, or the class time didn’t fit with something else, etc), there should be opportunities to take that class (or related classes) in other semesters.
