<p>"ABOUT THIS EVENT</p>
<p>As a new transfer student you are faced with unique opportunities and numerous choices. This reception will present an introduction to academic support programs, and feature transfer-friendly staff and current Cal students to answer questions. Student ambassadors will speak of their own experiences with faculty-mentored undergraduate research programs, educational study abroad, career internships, volunteer community service activities and/or student leadership opportunities. Campus staff will be available from the Financial Aid Office, Career Center, Office of Undergraduate Admissions, College Advising, Residential and Student Service Programs, Academic Achievement Programs and the Transfer, Re-entry, and Student Parent Center.</p>
<p>If you have any additional questions, contact Yanny Chavarria at <a href="mailto:socaloffice@berkeley.edu">socaloffice@berkeley.edu</a>, 909-625-7418."</p>
<p>@Guardiangel - Sure! I don't mind if you hitch a ride, but how much luggage are you going to bring? Also, I'm a Spring '09 transfer, so I'll only be moving in earlier if I find an internship or job around the area... Shucks.</p>

<p>do we transfers have a chance at ihop? i mean ihouse =D</p>
<p>how much does meal plan cost btw?</p>
<p>I am filling out the application, atm; I don't see why transfer students wouldn't have a chance.</p>
<p>Here are the meal plans:</p>
<p>Ambassador (100 meals) $530.00@ $5.30/meal

<p>Low Price Single
(S1) -
per person $6,056 $6,391 $12,447 45 rooms
what are the 3 different prices for btw?</p>
<p>Wait... you guys are filling out the Cal housing app? Can you post a link for me or something? I can't find it... :(
EDIT: never mind, Cal says you have to wait two days after SIR is recieved to apply... guess I'm just too eager...</p>
<p>Guadiangel, the first two prices are for the Fall and Spring semester, respectively; the last price is for the entire academic year.</p>
<p>And I have heard the food is terrible; but, you could always buy a minimal meal plan there, and buy a medium sized meal plan at the UCB dining commons.</p>
<p>hmm... if i have mandatory summer school in berkeley how do the fees apply?</p>
<p>You apply for summer session housing; the accommodations are listed in the link below:</p>
