<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I just missed the deadline to accept housing offer from Berkeley because I did not check my cal mail regularly, and now I'm in deep ****. I'm living in SoCal, so it's really hard for me. Should I go there to find a place myself or is there any website that has housing ads?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance!</p>
<p>I’m guessing the only option left is looking at the nearby apartments that are not part of the school?</p>
<p>You can try Cal Rentals.</p>
<p>How long is “just missed”? If you’re only a day or two late, try calling them to ask if there’s anything you can do.</p>
<p>It’s 4 days late, and I just emailed them 3 hours ago. They will answer on Monday, and now I cannot relax and enjoy my holiday.</p>
<p>BTW, to use Cal rentals, I have to pay $20 fee, right?</p>
<p>Yeah, $20 fee.</p>
<p>Craigslist</p>
<p>They might still be able to place you. I messed up on my application and didn’t list “any room size - any location” as one of my preferences, and when I called in they told me I didn’t have an offer. I emailed them on the 30th and they were able to place me in my first choice.</p>
<p>They also mentioned Cal Rentals and student Co-ops at CalSO, so I would look into those if you’re SOL. The Co-ops sound like they suck, though.</p>
<p>Just call them and see what’s up on Monday. I’m sure they wont mind accepting you since they do make $13000 off of you. Seriously y’all, the rooms are NOT worth that much. At first I kept an open mind about it but after staying there for a night… man. </p>
<p>And sorry to hijack this thread but does anyone know when we get our roommate assignments?</p>
