i'm considering Berkeley too. Co-op housing looks promising, but it appears that dogs are not allowed. Any co-opers have advice on this? Are Berkeley landlords generally dog friendly?

wow, thanks this is all really helpful information!

How does the supply of PhD candidates compare to the demand? I know the numbers are bad, but is it more like the humanities, political science, or its own deal all together.

I'm a discipline changer that is moving from Poli Sci to Sociology. Through multiple poli sci sites and articles I have found a lot of information on the discipline's job market and placement. I've had trouble finding the same information on Sociology. A number of potentially useful links on the ASA site do not work and most school's do not give comprehensive data on placement attrition etc. Anyone able to comment on this or point me in the right direction?

admit day = open house for admitted students to talk with profs, sit in classes, etc.

I have gotten into a few programs so far that want to fly me out for admit day. They are asking me whether or not I will come, but I am hesitant to commit at this point because I have not heard back from the majority of the programs that I applied to. How would you recommend dealing with this tactfully?
