<p>So I'm a transfer student from Orange County who will be starting school in the Fall and wanted some advice on housing options. As of right now I'm planning on living in Channing-Bowditch or the Wada apartments, but have been given some mixed feedback on my decision. What do you guys think about living in cal sponsored housing as a transfer student? </p>
<p>Also, in the event that I choose not to live in the Cal apartments, do you guys have any advice on the best time to look for housing? Ideally I would like to start my lease in August when school starts, but somebody told me that unless I snag a place now, I won't be able to find anything come the beginning of the semester. Is that true or can I wait until Late July/early august to start looking? </p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
