<p>I havent seen this thread started this year so i need to ask, where should a transfer student to Berkeley live?</p>
<p>I know there is a res hall for transfers, but it does seem expensive and I dont know if the meal plan is worth it.</p>
<p>I have some friends that have been the since their freshmen year that are looking for apartments way off campus. I dont want to miss out on the illustrious "college experience" by being so far from campus.</p>
<p>So if anyone wants to share where they are living and why, please post here.</p>
<p>When I transferred, I lived in an apartment with some older people. It was alright. If you want more of a social life, try the co-ops. You have to keep an open mind and they can be a younger crowd, but it’s room and board and averages about $700ish a month. Really depends what type of person you are.</p>
<p>You should keep in mind that you are guaranteed a space in the Residence Halls/Apartments as long as you apply on time. JR Transfer apps are Due June 6th. So if you cannot find a place to live or want to experience “Dorm Life” you can have that as an option.</p>
