Berkeley
Neighborhoods
Information about Berkeley and its surrounding
communities.
Housing
Exchange
students coming to Berkeley should be aware that the housing
market in Berkeley is competitive and expensive. Unfortunately,
exchange students do not have access to regular University
student housing and dormitories. While IAS cannot secure
housing for students, we can give an overview of the housing
market and suggestions on how to locate housing.
Cal
Rentals Service
Cal
Rentals is UC Berkeley's exclusive service providing rental listings
and housing advising to the campus community and eligible visitors.
Exchange students may access this service in advance of arrival
in Berkeley.
Exchange
students, with identification from the VSPA program, will be permitted
to use the CalRentals Service as a Visiting Student Researcher.
Students planning to live in private housing, should plan to arrive
three weeks prior to the start of the semester. A listing of several
hotels in the Berkeley area can be viewed at this website. http://www.calrentals.housing.berkeley.edu/hotel-motel.html
