<p>I don’t really know much about this but I just wanted to say how sweet!</p>
<p>Have you considered going to San Francisco State because that is a really good state school and you would be relatively close to your girlfriend. Also, most Berkeley students end up living in an apartment after freshmen or soph. year so there are places around the campus, you just have to look. As for pricing, I know that they actually end up being cheaper than dorming ( but Cal dorms are notoriously expensive and are around 14 k a year) so you are looking at less than 14 k a year with roomates and such. You’ll really have to research and get on the apartments soon though because I’ve heard there is a lot of competition for them. </p>
<p>I would also say, and this is just for the safe side, to consider a back up plan in case things don’t work out with your girlfriend, you don’t get into ucb/don’t want to go there, etc. Just don’t make all your plans dependent on your girlfriend. </p>
<p>But I wish you guys the best of luck and hope everything works out amazing!!!</p>
