@LMK5 if you have 2, if they don’t mind, you might want to look into off-campus apartments for the 2 of them. It’s a way of controlling your housing situation. As I mentioned before, a typical 1 bedroom close by campus will cost $2500 a month or so on Northside, 2 bedroom maybe $3200-3700 a month. Of course, there are other costs associated with off campus housing that are built into dorms - food, PG&E, internet service, etc. Almost all leases expire at the end of May, so now is a good time to look. Most freshmen, probably 95%+, do stay in dorms and it is definitely recommended, but it’s not a requirement.

Cal Rentals as part of university housing, has listings for off-campus housing. Premium Properties https://www.premiumpd.com/ usually has a lot of listings. You’ll want the ones for Northside.
