Summer Housing In Berkeley
Note that this information may be outdated;
it is soon to be updated

These pages contain housing options for your stay in Berkeley during your internship at LBNL. We have grouped the options into categories, but details can vary significantly from place to place. As more information becomes available, additional housing options will be added to these pages. Please check back for updates as you continue your housing search.
NOTE: All places reported that they are filling up (especially singles) so you should start contacting places that you are interested in right away.
ALSO: Make sure to pay attention to the prices and periods as some places have a flat rate for the summer period and others have a monthly charge. Most places will prorate the rent so you only need to pay for the time you are actually there, but make sure to ask about this when you contact them!
We make our best effort to assure that the information we present in these pages is correct. However, you should always verify any terms and conditions before deciding to move in.

 Dormitories are usually large community style housing with shared bathrooms and rooms off a main hallway. Some dorms offer meals in the summer, while others don't. Some dorms are expensive and gorgeous, while others are inexpensive and run down. There is the occasional exception, but on average you get what you pay for.

 Co-Ops & Greeks , more throughly described as Student Cooperatives (Co-Ops) and Fraternities & Sororities (Greeks), vary greatly across the board. Some houses are very similar to dormitories in that they have cleaning staff, while others involve chores and work shift hours. Co-Ops and Greeks sometimes offer good deals for summer subletting, and most frats aren't "fraternally active" in the summer time. Co-Ops and Greeks may offer a closer community than a dormitory, as well as a house or apartment rather than a hall.

Other Resources (Apartments, Rooms, Sublets, etc.) Here are a couple of alternative ways to find housing in Berkeley besides our pages, including the very popular internet classifieds site Craigslist. If you are looking to sublet a private apartment or room in a house, this is your best bet.
