<p>I was recently admitted to UCB, is there any transfer dorms? What type of dorms would you guys recommend for a third year?</p>
<p>Any information provided would be extremely helpful!</p>
<p>Thank you : )</p>

<p>Wada, Channing-Bowditch, and Martinez Commons are all apartment-style and reserved for upper div/continuing students, I think.</p>

<p>Could you provide me a brief overview of what it’s generally like living at these dorms or would it be wiser to live in an apartment? </p>

<li>Is there housing separated to certain majors?</li>
</ul>
<p>I got a bad lottery number and ended up in a unit mini-suite instead, so most of my floor is freshmen. It’s okay, I guess. My floor is pretty quiet, and it’s nice to be so close to campus. I tend to focus more on academics and don’t care too much about the social aspect of things, so I’m probably not the best person to ask about how things are.</p>
<p>No, there’s not housing for specific majors. A lot of engineering students seem to end up in Foothill, since that’s closest to the engineering buildings… but there’s no real separation by major. Doesn’t matter a whole lot anyways, you’ll meet people in your major in your classes.</p>
<p>I’m a transfer and live in Wada right now, it is decent. The floors are not very social, and the roommates you get will determine how much fun you will have.
Heres a video of the Unit 1 double dorm I lived in over summer (with freshmen and some other transfers), which I thought was much more fun.</p>
