What is Clark Kerr like?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Despite the distance from the school, can anyone talk about the differences between Clark Kerr and the Units? </p>

<p>Is Clark Kerr less social than the units? If you don't live in the suites, are the doors "open" at Clark Kerr? Are there more upperclassmen at Clark Kerr than the units? Can Clark Kerr give you the "college experience" (most people say the units give you the best college experience).</p>

<p>Your username aside, I will answer your question. I lived at Clark Kerr my freshman year and it was pretty good. The only downside was the distance from campus. I wouldn’t say it’s less social, but it is definitely less “packed” with students. There seems to be more atheletes at Clark Kerr than any other group of students. The rooms are much bigger than the rooms in the Units. I would say you can have the same college experience at CKC that you would have in the Units. It’s a really pretty location, and is generally quiet if you are just walking about the area. I don’t get what you mean by doors “open” but you can have any door open as long as you just prop it with something. That’s usually what people do the first couple weeks to get to know their floormates.</p>

<p>I heard in the units the doors are perpetually “open,” as in everyone knows everyone on their floor. Supposedly people walk in and out of each others rooms throughout the year, like a slumber party. Is it like that at CKC?</p>

<p>To the second poster, what do you mean by “Hogwarts”? Can you be more specific?</p>

<p>This is what he means when he says Hogwarts.</p>

<p>But besides the Great Hall where you’ll be eating dinner on most days, there is really no further resemblance.</p>

<p>After the first two weeks or so, people never leave their doors open. I’ve visited my friends who live in the Units and their floors seem a lot more social. In fact, privacy seemed nonexistant.</p>

<p>its tight… the people who complain about the “distance” … c’mon maybe if ur really fat or something</p>

<p>its not that far, maybe cuz im used to driving LOL… but really its not that far</p>

<p>It’s far enough to be worth some consideration, but not so far that it’s worth getting too worried about unless you hate waking up early and have classes that are in Etcheverry, starting before 10am.</p>

<p>…and yes, it is much more of an “Athlete” dorm.</p>

<p>What happens if you are not exactly an athlete (I mean I will and could do baseball but prefer to dedicate time to my studies which are my priority)? I really don’t care. Plus women athletes tend to be hotter ;).</p>

9

<p>The same thing that happens if you are an athelete…nothing. It’s just called the athlete dorm because there are more atheletes there than there are at other dorms.</p>

10

<p>there are indeed hotter girls there, but that’s probably because it’s smaller. :D</p>

<ol>
<li>So there is no social line or division traced between atheltes and non-athletes? Then what is the big deal with the athlete population at Clark? </li>
<li>Are the athletes mostly freshmen or upperclassmen? </li>
<li>What percent, roughly, of students at Clark are freshmen?</li>
<li>How come their be more athletes, is the lottery altered to fit more athletes there?</li>
</ol>

<p>Athletes get special treatment yo</p>

<p>I would think most athletes are underclassmen because I’d imagine them wanting to move away from campus housing especially if they’re not getting a full-ride.</p>
