<p>I forgot to turn in my Housing Contract by the June 1st deadline-- and finally revisited my Dorm Offer email. I called the Housing Office and my housing was CANCELLED. They put me on a waitlist, but said it would be pretty unlikely that I would get a dorm-- so right now I have less than 2 weeks to find a place to stay for a semester... what shud i do?-- anyone else in this situation?</p>
<p>Coops are all full, I checked. But, there are alternative private dorms in the Berkeley area. Try <a href="http://www.telegraphcommons.com%5B/url%5D">www.telegraphcommons.com</a> They are cheaper than living in the dorms and you can get a private (single) room for cheaper than living in the units. Its at Channing and Telegraph. Or, try signing up for a one month subscription of Cal Rentals, there are thousands of listings just for students on there...itll take a while to get through, but there are listings for rooms in private homes, community housings, apartments, etc. The website for cal rentals is off of the UC Berkeley Housing website. Good luck!</p>
<p>THANKS ALOT! - Something like the Telegraph Commons would be the best alternative to a dorm on campus -- i emailed them tonite--- hopefully they'll have room. Thx again =]</p>
<p>Damn that's a tough situation. If nothing else works out, you can try surfing <a href="http://www.craigslist.org%5B/url%5D">www.craigslist.org</a> and finding an apartment to rent. Better than having no place to live.</p>
<p>No problem. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thx again -- just wnated to post an update. There was room in the Telegraph Commons (2 spots) -- and I will be living in a small double there -- so, not homeless anymore =]</p>
<p>good to hear :)</p>
<p>oh man deja vu!! well, yeah i had the same situation im in westminster pretty nice place too, but its good yours worked out too.</p>
