What are the advantages and drawbacks of living on and off campus apart from money?

I'm thinking of finding accommodation in oakland..you think 1,100 is bad? I think off campus housing is even more expensive.


Maybe it's not bad for a single apartment. But 1,100$ is the price for living with one roommate, and I am pretty sure you can find something a bit cheaper off campus.

Why Oakland? is it cheaper? better? more convenient? I don't really understand the local rent market.


I actually have no idea. I just heard from friends who live in northern california and are helping me find accomodation that living in Oakland is cheaper. However, I've heard a lot of bad things about Oakland from former students, that it's not safe

Hello future classmates,
here is a web in regard to the housing alternatives:
www.bsc.coop/index.php
However, I'm planning to search something off campus, maybe having rented a town house with other classmates. Of course the financial, study, and kind of social benefits are one thing, but the main reason for doing that is cause I will be coming with my wife. So, if there is somebody in a similar situation , let me know.
Wishing good luck to the ones being on the WList!



Dear Phil. D,

I am also coming with my wife. I am looking for an apartment for 2. It would be nice to get a double bedrooms, but I'm not sure if it will be po$$ible.


Regards

Is this group for the academic year LLM or professional LLM?

Hello everyone,

A few items of information that may be helpful to our admitted LL.M. students, in response to the questions on this thread:

1. Here is the FB group for LL.M. students in the 2013/2014 professional track: www.facebook.com/groups/206899226119021/?ref=ts&fr…

2. Visit www.law.berkeley.edu/14984.htm for more information on housing at Berkeley, and check back as we add updated information about off-campus housing (including a neighborhood guide). Currently we are focused on providing rental listings for the professional-track students, who arrive next month, but we will be updating information for our August arrivals within the next several weeks.

Dear tsis,
just as a tip, keep in mind that the offer doesn't come with the program, so that makes your chances higher! ( I questioned the LLM office in regard to changing the program/certificate, and I was told that we choose the certain field during the second term)
Good Luck!
Phil

I e-mailed them to check the status of the waitlisted applicants. They said decision may even come in May.

I'm sorry to hear that, gacol. If you don't mind me asking, when where you placed on the waitlist? Also, are you an international or domestic student?

I'm still sitting on the wait list. My last bit of information was when I was placed on the wait list, weeks ago. I've already been accepted into Santa Clara for their IP LLM program, but I would be thrilled to have an acceptance from Berkeley. Patiently waiting.
