<p>Does anyone know anything about these apartments. Berkeley website says transfer students can live there, it looks nice but is it better than live in the dorms (unit 3 transfers)?</p>
<p>Anything on-campus is damn expensive, and my advice would be to stay the hell away.</p>
<p>I've not been into Channing Bowditch but Ive heard they are nice. Good location too. They give priority to people willing to sign a 1 year lease. Other upper division apartments are Unit 2 Wada. I have lots of friends there and they are nice and new too. Around $3300 for a double in a 2 bedroom per semester. Stryker is correct that on campus housing is expensive but there are advantages to being on campus IMO.</p>
<p>i have friends who live there..and benefits are that utilities are covered, it already comes furnished, and they have a person come clean the common areas in the apartment once a week (kitchen, living room). Also, they're only a couple years old, so they're very nice and pretty well-sized.</p>
<p>CA2006, are you saying some students can live there without fulfilling the 1 year lease? What is driving me away from the CB apartments is that I don't intend to stay in Berkeley for the whole summer, and I highly doubt I could rent it out to someone during that time.</p>
<p>I don't have personal experience with CB; I got that info from a transfer friend of mine. I checked the housing website and it says something like that, not clear though...
I don't know if you sublet housing but I have friends staying in Berkeley for the summer that are looking to sublet. Let me know if it can be done.</p>
<p>what are the chances of 2nd year students getting housing for that? i imagine that the CB apts. are very well requested/desired...so i'm guessing i shouldn't even apply for a lease. yes? no?</p>
<p>I'm not sure, given that it will probably give all upper division students preference. There were 2-3 slots available in Wada for 2nd year students last year.</p>
<p>are these upperdiv appartments only for junior/senior or people with upperdiv standing?</p>
