Looking for housing during midterm

<p>Hello, I am totally stranger to the Easy Bay and Berkeley area. I wonder how easy would it be if I look for housing (especially a single room or shared room) around campus. My price range would be around $500. Do you there could be any place starting from early October? Or would I have to wait for end of semester for such a thing?</p>

<p>yes, that’s what I have been doing for the past 10 days, I wonder if there are as many posting during the semester?</p>
