Is Housing Out Yet?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I just logged onto Cal Housing and saw this:</p>

<p>Residence Hall 08-09 Academic Year (08/24/2008 - 05/22/2009)
Applied: 04/08/2008
Room Reservation: DE-4xx-2
Not Complete</p>

<p>Application Phase 2 hasn't begun yet. But I was just speculating..(sure find that a lot over here), and could DE-4xx-2 possibly mean Deutsch in Unit 1? I asked two other friends what their application says, and one got Room Reservation: FB-6xx-7 (possibly Freeborn?) and PU-5xx-6 (Putnam?). Sorry, I'm an overexcited incoming freshman :)</p>

5

<p>The person who discovered this I think really has figured it out. In looking at my son's room number description for next year (he'll be a sophmore and was able to select his room), his room number jives with what you are saying. So based on that, let me explain what it means. </p>

<p>Let's say you get a mini double (or triple) suite in Christian. And got assigned to Room 312. For the mini suites, there's an "A" or a "B" following the three numbers, because there are two rooms in the mini suite Room 312 -- room "A" and room "B". Then the bed number is assigned, which would be -1, -2, or -3. (It doesn't stick you with a particular bed, it's just for numbering). </p>

<p>So it would look like this on the housing website: CN-312B-1</p>

<p>Using that formula, you will be able to determine what floor you're on (in the above case, on the third floor), the dorm building, etc. </p>

<p>So for Castel, he/she should be in Priestly (unit 3), on the 5th floor, bed 1.</p>

<p>Hope this explanation helps.</p>

<p>Btw, if you guys are really ingenious, you could find on the net a link to the location of the rooms in a particular dorm, and figure out if you'll be street side or courtyard side. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>lamsangel, sounds like Cheney Hall, 6th floor.</p>

<p>I went back to the housing app to check the room number but it wont let me access it anymore.</p>

13

<p>What does CU-2xx-1 mean?</p>

<p>I took out the last 2 numbers of the room. What does CU stand for?</p>

<p>I'm guessing Unit 2, Cunningham.</p>

14

<p>nhsharvard: Cunningham?</p>

15

<p>That's what I was guessing. I just looked over the freshman housing website.</p>

<p>Ah sweet. Can you tell if that's a double or triple yet?</p>
