<p>I'm going to visit Berkeley on CAl day... and then choose between la and ucb but that would be like a week before the deadline - would this be too late to sign up for CalSo and housing? I feel like I'm pressured to send SIR early but I haven't even seen the school and I'm flying out on 21 to see the school -what should i do? I feel so nervous :(</p>
<p>this is sort of a tangent, but it does deal with calso. what is the purpose of calso? current students, would you recommend it? i'm reading about it online, but it's not exactly clear... more info anyone?</p>
<p>it's mandatory, i believe.</p>
<p>housing is a lottery, as long as ur in by the deadline it doesnt matter.</p>
<p>Calso i have no idea how fast it will fill up</p>
<p>calso's mandatory for freshmen?</p>
<p>its not mandatory, but highly recommended
im doing it myself just so i dont have to figure all that registering & other good stuff out myself</p>
