Just chiming in here to say hello to other “local” Cal families. Our kid is an OUSD grad who will start Cal in Fall 2023. We were initially not sure about her applying to the local college because “spreading wings” and all that, but I find myself surprisingly happy that she will be closer to home than anticipated. Trying to figure out how to define boundaries. Can I go north of Alcatraz Ave.? If not, where will I do my grocery shopping after 30 years of BB? Yes we applied to a Cal dorms, and also had her put in an application to Berkeley Student Coops, to cover the long wait list and have a better shot at Coop housing for 2nd year.
