Berkeley: Changing housing preferences?

<p>Can we still change our housing preferences until June 6 if we have already submitted the application and the $20 fee?</p>

<p>I would think so? I’m wondering about that too – I keep debating between Channing-Bowditch and Wada.</p>

<p>Yes you can datransfer! I’ve changed my housing preferences like 12 zillion times already haha.</p>

<p>and dezziner maybe you should go with c-b as your first since wada is so hard to get into? wada is my first though so maybe that’s hypocritical of me to tell you that haha</p>

<p>lol well everyone keeps saying how Wada is amazing – but I haven’t been able to see any pictures inside! C-B seems nice from the outside and you get more room it seems. I keep reading that it’s a little dead which I guess is okay (I mean it’s a place to go home and relax) but if someone had a small party (not like a crazy gross party), are they strict about it? </p>

<p>But I keep leaning towards Wada as well. D: I’m going back and forth. I also hear cell phone reception is bad in Wada cuz of the concrete walls which concerns me.</p>

<p>thats weird because I thought I read that c-b would be chill with little kickbacks like that and that wada would be a little sketch for those kinds of things??? I might be just confusing the two though. But yeah I definitely heard that about wada but I kind of like that in a way so I can actually study…hahahhaha im just strange like that.</p>

<p>actually, i’m going to be going there tomoro morning. if you want, i can try and find a way in and then try to text/make a call to see if it’s true or not! hahahahahaa no im not joking</p>

<p>Oooh def try to make a call if you can LOL. I was so close to sneaking in a couple of weeks ago. </p>

<p>I was looking at the C-B terms and there’s a specific clause about noise. =/ I mean, I want to be able to invite friends over since I have a bunch that are in the Bay but aren’t at Berkeley – so it would get a little loud.</p>

<p>I’m just really indecisive! I found a video of someone’s Wada apartment though, if anyone cares: </p>

<p>[YouTube</a> - ‪UCB Unit 2 Wda apartment‬‏](<a href=“UCB Unit 2 Wda apartment - YouTube”>UCB Unit 2 Wda apartment - YouTube)</p>

<p>And I found some pictures of C-B as well: </p>

<p>WOW i love you for finding that! that is the FIRST time i’ve ever seen inside Wada!! although, i have to say, those walls are HORRENDOUS. what was Berkeley thinking?! And in comparison, c-b looks WAY better…only thing stopping me from putting it down as one of my choices is that i can’t do the lease :/</p>

<p>and dude, i think Wada has a clause about noise too. I mean, it technically is a dorm, and all dorms have noise restrictions. so i don’t think you should base even a fraction of your decision on that.</p>

<p>and i will update this thread tomoro after i return from berkeley on the status of my breaking and entering wada :)</p>

<p>Yeah! The walls are fugly lol. I’m thinking about putting a big sheet on the wall to cover most of it or something if I get Wada. I hate C-B’s 12 month lease thing – that’s another factor. If I do summer I’d just commute. </p>

<p>Yeah the noise thing isn’t my biggest factor – I think I’m just scared of making a choice without physically seeing it. </p>

<p>Good luck with sneaking around Berkeley tmw haha.</p>

<p>okay i literally waited around for like 20 minutes for someone to come and open the door for wada but it was SO dead today…like no one was walking around or anything -_____- but I made a call from inside the recreation room (i think thats what its called). as soon as i went down the steps, my phone went start Roaming and while i could send texts, i couldn’t get calls or make them.</p>

<p>while i still do think its kindaa good for me studywise, i actually now feel like its going to be a bit of a pain when i actually do have important calls to make. </p>

<p>other than that though, i just had a fantastic day in Berkeley :D</p>

<p>Hmm interesting. Maybe I’ll try to do the same too ahahaha. Thanks for trying it!</p>
