If you're interested in UC Berkeley housing, you have many options open to you. Residence halls like the cal UC Berkeley dorms, fraternities/sororities, UC Berkeley co-ops, options like International House (ihouse) or Westminster house, and Cal Dorms may seem like a good deal, but often fall flat in terms of the services they offer and state of the facilities. After settling for a Cal Dorm options, students are often dismayed to find that, unlike Tau House, bathrooms and common areas in these residences are not well-maintained and cleaned, they do not provide sufficient security, offer meager meal options, and fail to take into account the special requirements of international students.
