Best Housing at Berkeley?

<p>I was wondering if people could share a bit about what they know about each dorm and the benefits/drawbacks. Is there a clear favorite? Thanks :)</p>

<p>Look at the campus map (bottom area: Unit1,2,3/ Clark Kerr vs top right corner: Foothill/Bowles/Stern)</p>

<p>[UC</a> Berkeley - Large campus map](<a href=“http://berkeley.edu/map/maps/large_map.html]UC”>http://berkeley.edu/map/maps/large_map.html)</p>

<p>See location wise, where you want to live at (will you have classes near Northside? Or Southside? If walking doesn’t matter, then location won’t matter much here)</p>

<p>Noise level? Northside = tends to be much more quiet vs Southside = a tad noisier with crowds leaving from parties…</p>

<p>Food wise? Crossroads tend to be worst than Foothill overall. Crossroads = more options, Foothill = less options. </p>

<p>Where is Clark Kerr? Unless you have the money, don’t go for Clark Kerr… it’s pretty far from campus (if you walk from Clark Kerr to Northside, that probably takes a good 20-30mn…). I have not seen inside Clark Kerr, but I heard that it is pretty good. They got an ice rink last semester?</p>
