Your housing choice depends on your interests, preferences, and budget. Although we are not able to prearrange your housing we do have referral information that we’ll be glad to share with you.

Most evening certificate students prefer to rent a private apartment or a private room in an apartment or home. This gives you independence, but it also means you will have to supply many of your own household items. Many evening certificate courses take place in San Francisco, so some students prefer to live there rather than in Berkeley.

Whatever your choice, you should be aware that the "estimated minimum expenses" shown on the enrollment application are amounts that can easily be exceeded, given the wide range of housing options available in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Whichever option you choose, our International Student Services office is happy to help. Contact us at housing@unex.berkeley.edu.
