Has anyone looked into the graduate student housing extensively? Can law students live in Ida Jackson and, if so, do we need to find our own roommates?

Are merit offers also sent out through the Financial Aid Office e-mail address? And for those who received both merit and need, did they come at the same time? Received a Berkeley Law Grant, but not sure if this also included consideration for merit...

I don't think there's a class FB group yet (I checked a lot) so I made one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1470164359758067/

feel free to join! if there is an "official" one I will delete and we can all move to that one haha

Withdrew yesterday (well, on the little form thing that asked what our plans were I said "not attending"). It was hard to let it go! I really loved Berk. I know I'll be happy where I end up, though :)

Good luck to everyone still deciding!
