<p>ok so I'm going to be flying in instead of driving, and naturally I can't bring all that much stuff with me. I wanted to buy almost everything except my clothes after I arrive, but I just found out that there is no Target store in Berkeley (the nearest one being in Albany), so...</p>
<p>does anyone know a place in Berkeley where I can buy my desk lamp/hangers/misc. dorm stuff?</p>
<p>I don't know the area well at all, so I'd rather not go adventuring to another town, even if it is nearby and all...</p>
<p>albany's not that far away, take the Bart and make a few trips. if you're living in the dorms they'll have trips organized (the RA's and what not).</p>
<p>hey acidalice, i'm doing the same thing as you since i'm flying in as well...what are you gonna do with the stuff you buy there when its time to leave in the summer (sell it for cheap, trash it, store it, etc?)</p>
<p>also, are you bringing all your bedding (sheets, blanket, pillow, pillowcases) or buying that stuff in berkeley? and what about laptop...are you gonna get/bring one of those or just use the computers they have on campus?</p>
<p>sorry, just wanna see what route someone in the same confused shoes as me is going :)</p>
<p>there's a great place to store stuff on shattuck @ derby called UC storage, also, the dorms are in cohoots with a storage company that'll box and store your stuff, but for that you have to do it all summer, so if your moving into a place @ the beginning of the summer u can't do it.</p>
<p>I think UC Storage is where my stuff is stored. They picked it up and will deliver it back to the forms. They were less expensive than the place the Res Halls recommended using.</p>
<p>AcidAlice: You might want to consider going to berkeley.edu and looking at the info about Bed Bath and Beyond for shopping at your local store and having it delivered to your dorm on move-in day.</p>
