<p>So I'm going to Cal in the fall and my #1 choice for housing is a single in Channing-Bowditch. I'm really banking on getting into my first choice, but I understand there's no guarantee. #2-4 is Cha-Bo double, Wada double, and Wada triple. I really don't like the dorms, but there are singles available in the other housing options. I was wondering if anyone can give me a rundown of what some of the better singles are. As you can tell by my #1 choice, price isn't really a factor. I'm not anti-social or anything, but I really appreciate my own privacy so doubles and triples don't make a lot of sense for me.</p>
<p>I know next to nothing about them, so do your research, but have you heard of the Berkeley Student Coop? Might be worth looking into as a (cheaper) fallback.</p>
