hello everyone..I'm from SoCal, los angeles area, and I'm moving up to NorCal
in January 2008 for school..

I was just up there last weekend for orientation and I really loved what I saw,
things were quite different from down here, but still it was nice to be up there

anyways, I'll be attending Berkeley Univ. starting 08 January and I really
need to find a place to live...so I was really hoping to see if anybody can
help me out..
this is what I want..and I know I probably won't get all these..=/

-Studio or one room
-designated in-door or at least covered parking spot for my car
-close to school, but I'm willing to drive 15~20 min. to school
-nice and quite neighborhood
-price:800~1000 but the lower the better!!!!!!!!!!!
and walk-in closet, bathtub, AC, laundry, etc..are some additionals that will
be nice to have..

I'm planning on moving in in early Dec..but time doesn't really matter
as long as I can find a nice place!

thanks for taking your time to read this, and thanks again for helping me out!
I'm really looking forward to go up there and meet up with everyone!

 

live in the dorms

If you're planning on living anywhere remotely near UC Berkeley, your rent will probably be around 1000 maybe more for that 1 bedroom you described, parking not included. Parking is anywhere between 50-150 a month depending on the complex. That is why most of us Berkeley students don't drive, considering an annual bus pass is included in the tuition. Oh, and just a warning, driving/parking a Z around Berkeley... not the funnest thing in the world to do.

Btw, yeah how come you're not coming up for the fall semester? And living in the dorms would be the easiest solution for the first year here.

 

good luck with that price man. i live in Berkeley and the rent is up there and yes parking is hard to find and only 1 hour now in most spots. btw if u don't mind me asking, are u transferring from a jc? if u are, is it cool if i pm u and get some advice on transferring? thanks man good luck with the place. if u have any questions about Berkeley just ask me. thanks man
