    It was a relatively easier process to apply and they’re very communicative, especially in comparison to other apartments I’ve looked at. Moreover, their pricing is great!

    Wonderful community that embraces newcomers with open arms. Lots of activities and resources provided for residents. Would highly recommend students looking for housing anytime soon.

  • Lovely place to live!

    April 16, 2024
    I lived here for two years while attending UCB. It was a wonderful place to live with a great location right next to campus and a cafe. The amenities were amazing with study spaces throughout the building. The community itself is very welcoming with fun monthly events. I would recommend to those who want a fully furnished place with good accessibility to campus!

      I'm sorry that you had a negative experience at our property. While we cannot change the past, there was turnover in management, and I hope that others will have a better experience. As the new Leasing Manager, please feel free to contact me at 510-647-2328 and I'll be more than happy to connect with you personally.

  • Great place to live!

    February 18, 2019
    I've lived here for 2 years and it is an amazing place to be! The location is one block away from campus and the leasing process is very convenient. There is also guaranteed housing for early lease renewal which makes housing secured for as long as you want it.

  • Berk on College Review

    February 18, 2019
    I have lived in the Berk on College for over a year now and am currently living in a triple with a private bathroom. Both the double suite and the triple rooms I’ve lived in are very spacious and are well furnished. The rooms all have desks, drawers, big closets, and even small drawers for each resident, in addition to microwaves and refrigerators. The private bathrooms are also very spacious and very clean because they are cleaned every few weeks. The Berk on College is very close to campus and ...
    the bus stop, which is very convenient. Not only that, the staff is very friendly and always makes sure they respond as soon as possible when a resident needs assistance. There are also several socials that take place in the lounge, which makes it more fun to live at the Berk!

  • Triple with a private bathroom

    February 16, 2019
    I live in a triple with a private bathroom and the room is very comfortable. It’s bigger than what I was expecting and considerably bigger than the rooms of actual dorms such as Blackwell. There are three drawers, a closet, a place to put your shoes and a table with four smaller drawers for each resident, as well as a microwave and a refrigerator for us to share. The room is cleaned every two weeks so you might want to organize cleaning schedules with your roommates. It is extremely close to the ...
    university, it’s a six minute walk to the Sather Gate, which is very convenient. My room is in front of the restaurant so it gets a bit noisy at night, in case you’re a light sleeper. The staff here is extremely friendly and are always ready to assist you. There’s a kitchen for the entire building (it’s important to note that it’s not always clean as the residents are responsible for that part) and a lounge with a television, ping-pong and pool table. Although it’s more expensive than sharing a regular apartment, it is cheaper than regular dorms and there’s the advantaged of being cleaned and if you’re trying to make friends there are always some kind of activity like movie night or an ice cream gathering for you to meet your fellow residents.
