<p>Hey I got my housing offer and it was a unit 3 triple for spring 2011. Anybody want to trade?</p>
<p>I'm looking for unit 1 or 2 double. Or even unit 1 or 2 triple, maybe even a unit 3 double as well...</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>E-mail ResHall, but good luck. From my experience they very rarely give doubles to people who wound up in triples.</p>
<p>Also, why so apprehensive about Unit 3? It’s great!</p>
<p>because it’s a triple…lol</p>
<p>I HATE TRIPLES! and its in the old ass unit 3 building. unit2 and 1 is where the good stuff is at… ;)</p>
<p>fight for it.</p>
<p>how do i fight for it?</p>
<p>@steeze: You can try emailing/calling but it’s probably not going to change anything. I also got a Unit 3 triple when I requested all doubles and hated the idea of a triple. It ended up being worth it just because Unit 3 was really that great. It only looks older because Units 1 and 2 have half of their buildings renovated but most freshmen aren’t in the newer ones anyway. Unit 3 is also much nicer on the inside and much closer to campus/all the action. Look up other threads here if you want but you’re really not going to find people disappointed with Unit 3.</p>
<p>I just don’t want a unit triple…a 13.2 ft by 13.9ft room with only two closets and two desks, shared by 3 people? I dunno but i dont like that idea…lol</p>
<p>i don’t care about the walking distance since unit 1 2 3 are all about the same distance from campus in my opinion. i actually like unit 2 better because its closer to clark kerr, has the nice turf above the parking structure, and just looks a ton better from the outside. and i like that haha.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you get your own closet in a Unit 3 triple…And you definitely get your own desk.</p>
<p>As for the distance, it seems like nothing now but five minutes in the morning makes a world of difference ;)</p>
<p>^^
I commute to berkeley right now. 5 minutes in the morning is nothing to me when it takes me an hour and 10 minutes from my house to my first class on campus haha</p>
<p>according to the housing website at berkeley, triples only have two desks and two closets…
and i just noticed on the website, triples don’t have drawers while doubles do! ***.

<p>I’m guessing you’ve made up your mind already, but I think Unit 3 is better than Unit 1 and definitely better than Unit 2. Not only is it closer to campus, it’s closer to restaurants and Shattuck Ave.</p>
<p>Unit 3 triples all have 3 desks. 2 big desks under one of the beds and one regular desk. </p>
<p>All corner triples have 3 closets, the few middle triples have 2 closets (all closets are double closets anyway, it’s more like 4 small closets) and a huge chest of drawers. All beds have big drawers under them. From someone who lived in Unit 3 for 2 years - storage space is NOT a problem.</p>
<p>But go ahead and believe whatever you want anyway.</p>
<p>haha yea it’s true that it is closer, but considering the distance i travel now, unit 1, unit 2, unit 3 will all be relatively close in my opinion. It’s a what? 10 minute walk from unit 2 to unit 3 at most? distance isn’t really my biggest concern. my biggest concern is the triple when i prefer a double. i wouldn’t even mind unit 3 double if it really came down to that, but unit 1/2 double would be my first choice</p>
<p>edit: after reading flutter’s post i guess i’m not too against unit 3 triple anymore… lol</p>
<p>Maybe distance isn’t a big deal when you’re walking to campus, but you also need to walk to that area for fast food, groceries, bookstore, etc.</p>
