This thread needs some apartment commentary -

1) In general, UC housing provides superior maintenance and student facilities compared to many of the independent options around.

2) Apartments + Utilities + Food could certainly surpass dorm fees - the pricing around campus is ridiculous.

3) The cheaper apartments are generally FARTHER away from campus than the dorms - either that or they’re co-ops/in horrible condition.

4) There are plenty more apartments in worse-off neighborhoods. The dorms themselves are relatively safe.

5) The Clark-Kerr neighborhood is safer than its Unit 3 counterpart.

6) There is a shuttle service from campus to the residence halls.
