Housing

Student attendees of the Institute will have four housing options. Note that all costs quoted below are for summer 2008 and that summer 2009 costs will probably be higher.

UC Berkeley dormitories offer single, double, and triple occupancy rooms in high-rise buildings that are within walking distance of Institute activities. For summer 2008, costs for six weeks range from $1585 to $2460, including a flexible meal plan (more information here).

International House is a multi-cultural residence and program that offers single and double occupancy rooms within walking distance of Institute activities. For summer 2008, costs range from $1820 to $2761, which includes a full meal plan.

Co-op housing is available at approximately 20 different locations around Berkeley. In 2008, summer rates range from $430 to $620 per month for accomodation in a house, and from $407 to $895 per month for accomodation in an apartment. Co-ops typically offer three-month contracts for housing; students will need to negotiate individually with the co-op of their choice to determine if it will be possible to stay for shorter periods.

Private off-campus apartments are also an option for those students who wish to make their own arrangements. Apartment listings may be found on craigslist.
