<p>How would u guys rank the co-ops?</p>
<p>Completely subjective. What are you looking for in a coop? They are all SOO different. Most people feel completely “at home” at one, and despise their time at the others. </p>
<p>Have you already applied? They have already started making housing assignments for fall. Get on that ASAP if you haven’t already because it is a lot harder to get in for fall.</p>
<p>Please mind my ignorance…what are the Berkeley co-ops? I’m going this fall but I haven’t heard of these! </p>
<p>are they living things?</p>
<p>[Our</a> Co-ops](<a href=“http://berkeleystudentcooperative.org/our-co-ops]Our”>http://berkeleystudentcooperative.org/our-co-ops)</p>
<p>OH mY GOD. WANT to dorm here!! !! These seem awesome</p>
<p>Honestly, seeing photos from the co-ops was part of the reason I decided not to go to Cal. It just looks like a bunch of drunk, strung-out filthy hippies… Not exactly the world-class student body I had envisioned. =/</p>
<p>@ uccasualty
lol what that doesn’t even make sense. First of all the co-ops are run by a private organization.</p>
<p>Secondly, if you couldn’t envision these people as a world class student body yet they obviously are, then there’s something wrong with your perception.</p>
<p>@ UC Casualty-I hope you realize that people are people-there are at least, what? 35,000 students at Cal, and maybe even more! That’s an awfully harsh label to give to every one of themm haha…where’d you decide on?</p>
<p>LOL UCcasualty logic fail</p>
<p>these houses don’t look as bad as I though they would. They are pretty nice actually. Hmm </p>
<p>Anyone else worried about their stuff being stolen in Co-op or on campus housing? I don’t trust most people, so I am considering buying a safe or something.</p>
<p>sorry to invade your Cal bear space here, but anybody know the website for UCLA co-op? (if there even is one) I can’t find it anywhere.</p>

<p>btw. berkeley coops are an option for me. They said I had a good chance of getting in but thier waiting list is long. I advise everyone to get right on it if you want a shot. Spring is probably your best hope though.</p>
<p>thanks! :)</p>
<p>UCLA doesn’t have as many coops as UCB does, I doubt that you could find as detailed a website as that for UCLA.</p>
<p>The coops are amazing. I live in one of the biggest ones and I have never had a problem with anything being stolen. There have actually been a couple of instances of people leaving ipods, etc out in common space and having had it returned to them or have found them days later.</p>
<p>The houses are very nice. We have access to a lot of money for communal house things and projects. During the school year we have SOOOOO much food, it’s absolutely insane. </p>
<p>Yes, if you are placed in one of the bigger houses (CZ or Cloyne) there will be a lot of partying. But these people are Cal students too, and they do very well in their classes. Most of the people in my house take classes together and especially with popular majors, help out each other. </p>
<p>I’ve been living here since January and I’m definitely staying. I’m happy to answer any questions, although someone should dig up that other coop thread again from a couple months back .</p>
<p>is it too late to sign up for the fall semester? i know they still take apps, but i don’t want to waste $50 just to apply if i have no chance of getting in. i am in EOP though…</p>
<p>crap
I didn’t realize the deadline was friggin june 7th haha. And I don’t know jack #%#$% about any of the housing situations!! </p>
<p>Hm. Decisions decisions.</p>
<p>you get a refund if you don’t get in.</p>
<p>My daughter has a contract for Hoyt, the cleanest co-op there is! Trouble is, she’s already lived in all-girls’ housing and wants a different experience. Will trade for any of the following, and I’ll provide a nice cash thank-you. If someone knows of a better forum to post this, please let me know.</p>
