<p>I was recently accepted at both UCLA and UC Berkeley, but for the spring semester at Berkeley, and I have no idea which one to go to. I would have chosen Berkeley if I had been accepted for the fall semester, but now I don't know what to do. I like both campuses a lot, and both have great reputations. I'm thinking of majoring in political science or possibly anthropology, and both schools have great programs, although Berkeley's might be a little better. Also, the area around UCLA is a lot nicer than around Berkeley, but I don't really know how much that matters. My main issue with Berkeley is that, although my spot is reserved in the FPF, I don't know if they will have housing for me either semester. What should I do????</p>
<p>very likely but not guaranteed to get housing in the dorms, but with 3/4 or more of the student body living outside the dorm system, housing isn’t a problem. </p>
<p>There will be plenty of choices, especially if you are willing to spend at the same rate as the dorms charge (backing out the cost of the meal plan that you might still buy, to project the housing only rate),</p>
<p>My main bit of advice is: spring admits really are on equal status with everyone else once the spring semester hits.</p>
<p>People get admitted in the spring because they are the types more likely to succeed by beginning in the Spring.</p>
<p>Keep that in mind. Spring vs. Fall admit really shouldn’t be a factor in deciding which one you attend.</p>

<p>At Cal Day last Saturday there was an FPF presentation. Housing made a brief presentation and said that they would have campus housing for all FPF students that wanted it.</p>
<p>I’m an FPF kid. Don’t worry about housing, you’ll get a room. Just don’t be picky.</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard though, most kids liked FPF. I hated it, but I’m just weird like that. FPF has smaller class sizes making the transition from high school to college much easier. But for some reason, I did pretty bad in FPF, but I’m pretty much fine for spring semester, huge lecture hall type classes. Go figure.</p>
