Hello everyone, I am a 23 year old female searching for a female roommate to live with in Berkeley. I will be a PhD student in social psychology at Cal and I am clean and studious but also fun! Please let me know if you would be willing to room with me. I am hoping to live in North Berkeley as it is clean and quiet there and I am hoping to pay $800 a month at most if possible but I am flexible. Please get back to me! Thank you, Carla

Berkeley

Whomi, those are just like my reasons for deciding to attend Berkeley On an unrelated topic, is any female on this forum perhaps looking for a female roommate to live with near to campus? I am thinking I will try to find roomies in order to cut some of the high cost that comes with living in the (beautiful) Bay Area. Also, does anyone know when they will start looking for housing in/near Berkeley? I'm not sure when would be the best time to start looking. Lemme know!

I decided to go to Berkeley and am super excited! I'm still worried about finding housing and roomies but I guess things will fall into place as time goes on...right? haha So I'm curious, what are the reasons that everyone here decided to attend Berkeley?

Liz, Congrats on receiving the fellowship, that's awesome! I believe it is the Chancellor's fellowship? That is the one I have. Unfortunately, I could not attend my visitor's weekend as I had an interview the same exact days. But I did schedule my own day to visit the campus and I met my potential advisor and the faculty and I had a really great experience.If you guys decide to attend Cal, do you think you will live in the graduate student housing on/near campus or are you guys thinking of renting a studio or renting a house with roommates off campus? I can't really make up my mind but if I choose the latter I guess I would have to go through the task of finding "normal" roomies, haha. Let me know your thoughts everyone

I am definitely considering Berkeley, about 99 percent sure! They have an awesome social psychology program and I have heard great things about the department and the people. I just have to wait on the final financial aid package (I received a fellowship with a $25000 stipend for the first two years and have yet to find out numbers for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th years of departmental funding through TAships). The next step is officially accepting their offer and *yikes* finding housing! Keep in touch
