Question About The Units

Colleges & Universities University of California - Berkeley
1

<p>Do incoming freshmen get the newer, more colorful buildings that were recently built/opened? </p>

<p>I Know my tour guide at cal day said incoming freshmen dont get the new buildings at Unit 1 but I was wondering if that was also the case for Unit 2.</p>

<p>Secondly, does Unit 2 have a substance free building too? And will you get put into a substance free building if you do not request it?</p>

<p>Also if you guys could give some more input on cell phone reception in these two places (particularly t-mobile) that would be really helpful =)</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>The colorful buildings are suites, and usually freshmen will not receive their dorm assignments in those.</p>

<p>No substance free building in Unit 2. Cingular works fine (officially has the best network in the Bay Area).</p>

3

<p>Since not enough students reqeust substance free to fill Freeborn, there are people in Freeborn who did not request it. </p>

<p>T-Mobile’s okay, I’ve heard mixed reviews. My roommate never has a problem but a lot of other people complain</p>

<p>Really sweetdreams? Didn’t someone in these forums say that they put Freeborn as their first choice and didn’t get in?</p>

5

<p>T mobile has some problems in the mini suites (concrete + steel), but outside is great.</p>

6

<p>My roommate had Freeborn as first choice and didn’t get in. He probably had terrible luck in the lottery drawing.</p>

<p>Weeird…I know SO many people in Freeborn who don’t want to be there; there’s a whole facebook group dedicated to it.</p>

<p>Perhaps what happens is people who request a Unit 1 double get put in Freeborn when the other Unit 1 doubles run out? Dunno</p>
