Housing Resources
The Haas School and UC Berkeley offer several resources to help ease your transition to the area. You can find helpful information with University housing services.
You can research monthly rent costs in Berkeley before deciding in what part of Berkeley you would like to live.
The University’s Cal Rentals service offers counseling on all housing options, both on-campus as well as off-, and also provides a rental listing service for a small fee. Counseling sessions can help students weigh their housing options and customize an effective house-hunting plan if looking for off-campus rentals. Counselors can provide information on setting up utilities, commuting, school and childcare resources, rental safety issues, and more.
Graduate students are welcome to e-mail their housing questions to [email protected], call 1 (510) 642-2456, or come by the Residential and Student Services Building (RSSB) at 2610 Channing Way, Berkeley, CA 94720-2272.
- International House is a residence and program center that houses approximately 600 students, most of whom are at the graduate level. About half of the residents are US citizens; the other half are students from approximately 60 foreign countries. I-House is less than a five-minute walk from Haas, which makes it an attractive housing option.
- Berkeley Student Cooperative (Co-ops) is a nonprofit cooperative system that is owned and operated by its student members. It houses over 1,200 single students in 20 rooming houses and apartment buildings close to campus. One house, the Convent, is all singles and is available for grad and re-entry students only.
- Casa Joaquin Murieta and the Frente Graduate Center house 45 low-income, re-entry, first-generation Xicana/o students, although all students are welcome.
