<p>Living on campus > off. Ya, rules sucks…and there’s a chance ur not gonna love ur roomate, but i was with 2 roomies during my year at a 4-year and they were both pretty good. Nobody I’m going to make lifelong connections w/ but w/e, we partied. Easy as hell to meet people to…</p>
<p>That’s why you go and check the place out. I have yet to be burned by craigslist. You think that any other apartment listings are better? You can get a weird roommate anywhere. If you’re that concerned about roomies, get a studio.</p>
<p>I live in san jose, been to berkeley many times, you can live outside berkeley if you would like, but you have to battle your way into berkeley if you want to go there. I know some people that use the BART system/among other things to work their way into north bay. </p>
<p>The dorm rooms aren’t anything special, though I have only been in 3 of the buildings dorms. The housing is alright, I have friends that have places and its not bad. I actually think you will benifit greatly just by living in the city. Do give it a serious thought before putting it off.</p>
<p>to everyone that said they got into berk, all of the messages that were supposedly on the myberk website were different. People should have caught onto that one.</p>
<p>Unknown: It depends a lot on the school and your personality too, I think. The second week of calculus, I realized the girl I had been sitting next to lived downstairs from me. Like, directly underneath me, and I had never met her. Most of the UCs, upperclass students live off campus, and there’s usually some sort of student union where they tend to hang out. So, see someone you recognize from a class and go say hi. If you’re having a lot of trouble meeting people, take a seminar, get involved in something, find a job at the on-campus coffeehouse, whatever. For me personally, there are so many benefits in living off campus that the proximity to all kinds of people I’ll probably hate just isn’t worth it. But then, that’s me.</p>
<p>yeah. i can look at my financial aid information too, and i can also look at classes. Does this mean we were accepted? Under “find a class to enroll”.</p>
<p>we’ve been able to look at the classes the whole time.
but does it actually say that you have financial aid info or does it say “You do not have a Financial Aid Summary for this Award Period.”?</p>
<p>ok, i went there and on one page, it says that the SIR is needed, but if you click on access, it tells me that i didnt turn in my fafsa, which i did, and it says that i did on URSA too. Thats weird. Maybe finaid website hasnt updated yet.</p>
