Colleges & Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Hey, so I just submitted my SIR, and I'll be studying in UCBerkeley in Fall 2009!
I will probably major in something like - Econ, Stat, Math, Bio, or Chem (somethig math-y or scienc-y), so could you suggest me some dorms that are...</p>

<p>**
social: I'd like the dorms to be social :)
**proximity: **Closer to the campus (esp. freshman classes) the better.
**food: If it's digestable, it's find with me. (if the food is too good, I'll get fat!!)
quality: **As long as there are no like centipedes coming out of the matress...
(seriously, the very old house I used to live in had freaking ANTS coming out of the sink. ANTS!!)
**price: **Obviously the lower the better.
**sports facility: If there's like some treadmills/ pools that'd be nice :)</p>

<p>And I prefer Co-ed ;)</p>

<p>My sis lives in Unit 1.. I think I might want to stay with her, but I heard that the Units are really crowded..
and I'll be living in Triple rooms to save some $$.</p>

<p>*So could you suggest me a dorm?
*What are the differences between the three units?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!!</p>

<p>(I don't want CKC since they'll be going through a renovation = noisy..)</p>

<p>My sister lives in Unit 1,</p>

<p>Dorm 3. forsure. come meet me to (:</p>

<p>Dorm3= Unit 3?</p>

<p>I looked at the description and it sounds cool :smiley:
Does it fit my ‘criteria’? lol</p>

<p>btw,
I just looked at the Berkeley map, and it’s HUGE!!
How do I get to all the classes? (esp. ones in the north…)</p>

<p>uhm. i’m going to assume you’re not handicapped. so…walk. or run. (last resort is taking the bus if you get really lazy…notice it’s lazy and not late)</p>

<p>unit 3 i guess would be your best bet. 1 is good too.</p>

5

<p>1 but I saw the campus map…
and it looks really crazy big…
and the math / econ building are on the other side of campus aren’t they?
so should I pick CKC or Foothill or stern?</p>

6

<p>yeah, getting around isn’t a big problem. The longest would be class from south-east to north-west (uphill), and that would take roughly 12-14 minutes walking fast. Bus isn’t reliable unless you can catch it right when you walk out the building (i.e. not worth waiting for).</p>

<p>From your description, Unit 1, 2, or 3 would work.</p>

7

<p>Unit 3 double or triple definitely. That’s where I live and it easily fulfills all your criteria.</p>

<p>thanks so much!
Unit 3 triple it is ;)</p>
