<p>My friend and I are planning to room together in a suite in Unit 1 for the upcoming school year. Can we do this?</p>
<p>Non-regents are forbidden to even speak with regents students. There are separate staircases and entrance doors, the first five rows of all classrooms are strictly reserved for regents, . . . </p>
<p>Since all non-regents students are required to wear a patch while on campus (an upside down R), it is easy to spot them and avoid accidental contact. </p>
<p>Generally, not only will housing forbid non-regents to mix with regents in a room, but floors and in some units entire buildings are restricted to one or the other category of student.</p>
<p>Any two students of the same gender who get into the same residence hall can request each other as roommates.</p>
<p>^ exactly what ucbalumnus said</p>
<p>(but don’t forget regents aren’t allowed to interact with non-regents in person, so don’t worry, you won’t end up having to room with one of those non-regents…[ew])</p>
<p>Hate to break it to you. But regents really isn’t a big “award” or accomplishment. Most people won’t care; everyone’s equal once they come to Berkeley.</p>
<p>

<p>I love this.</p>
<p>^^ exactly what gobears10 said</p>
<p>but still don’t forget it’s still UC policy that regents and non-regents aren’t allowed to interact in person. regents have to wear the patch thing you see people wearing on campus.</p>
<p>answer to the question: yes, I know people who did that and it worked out.</p>
<p>to everyone else: lol</p>
<p>^^ exactly what futterfly_28 said</p>
<p>but if you want to do that the regents student has to give up the title (just fill out a few forms)</p>
<p><em>or</em> the non-regent could try out for regents and get it… </p>
<p>…

<p>LOLYARITE</p>
