How can I find housing for a student going to UC Berkeley? ?

Question

Hi all,

One of my close friends is transferring to Berkeley and she has been unsuccessful in finding any place to live. Now, school starts in less than two weeks and she doesn't know anyone in the bay area thats he can live with so I really need suggestions!!!

Her budget is: up to $600

Expectations: As close to the UC Berkeley campus as possible and a quiet place to study.

Any room, shared or not will be fine. Thanks for all your help!

The best and perfect place to look for rooms, apartment or whatever is this classified webpage.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Answer 2

Contact the Cal Rentals office at UC Berkeley.  They specialize in off-campus housing.  

But housing off campus for undergrads is really limited.  She really should have applied for the dorms on time.
