<p>I just got my housing decision today. It turns out, I am going to be living in the Unit 1 Double in a Mini Suite. Now, my question is, what exactly is a mini suite? What is it composed of? </p>
<p>Also, can you guys please tell me what each unit is like? Like unit 1, 2, and 3. How are each like socially, etc. from what you have heard. Thanks.</p>
<p>socalgal,</p>
<p>are you a freshman this year? they told me that mini suites are not for freshmen. if you are i am really going to be angry at them for lying to me</p>
<p>No, I am a transfer student in Junior standing. If what you say is true though, that mini suites are not for freshmen, then I would be very happy. Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to living with a freshy.</p>
<p>cawaiigirl, do you know how the mini suite is configured? What is the room set up like?</p>
<p>generally, more non-freshmen live in the mini suites, but there are quite a few exceptions. from what i've seen, they tend to group together the freshmen who live in the mini suites together, at least in the same room.</p>
<p>i've only been into some of my friends' mini suites in the units, and assuming most rooms in unit 1 and 2 are similar, the layouts had:
-front entry door leading to 3 more doors
-entering through the front, on the right is a bathroom door (shower, toilet, sink)
-on the left is one room (double or triple)
-straight ahead is another room (double or triple)</p>
<p>other rooms may vary, but that's how the ones i have seen were arranged.</p>
<p>Hey socalgirl,</p>
<p>I seem to be in the same predicament as you. I put all the apartments as my first preferences, but ended up getting a Double Room in a Mini-Suite in Unit 1. I'm not excited about living in a dorm again, especially for $14,000 -.-</p>
<p>Right now I'm deciding on whether to live in an off-campus apartment or suck it up and take the offer. What have you decided?</p>
<p>A double in unit 1 mini suite is very hard to get so you guys should be grateful about it. It's probably one of the best dorm option at Berkeley</p>
<p>they are the cleanest and newest of all the dorms.
they are close to campus.
minisuites are a bit less social than reg doubles and triples at the units, but that goes with not having freshman.</p>
<p>to add to the op's question, what's living in a suite like? i got a "triple room in a suite" in unit 2, and i can't find any information on what that means exactly on the website. how is it different from a minisuite?</p>
<p>also, the corresponding move-in date for that would be the 18th, right?</p>
<p>ah, wait, someone else asked about the suites already [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=358859%5Dhere%5B/url">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=358859]here[/url</a>].</p>
