<p>so my parents want me to stay at this dorm at berkeley but i don’t want to stay there. so my question is after i apply for housing will my parents get a confirmation letter saying my requests. like which dorm, if i chose to stay on a single sex or coed floor, etc.</p>
<p>you’ll get an email. no mail. but why would you keep something like this from your parents. just talk to them…</p>
<p>apply for whatever you want, your parents will not know. just tell them they didn’t give you your choices when you’re actually moving in.</p>
<p>Cal definitely safeguards your privacy from your parents. Doesn’t matter if they are paying the bills, they can’t see grades or pretty much anything unless you send it to them. Well, the get to see the e-bill for the payment for the month :-)</p>
