THE PREMIER UNDERGRADUATE HOUSING EXPERIENCE ON THE BERKELEY CAMPUS

CELEBRATING 93 YEARS

The Hall is bursting with activities as students returned for the new academic year. With class distribution coming close to the ideal target of about 25% from each year — freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors — we are once again honored to have an enthusiastic group of 188 students roaming the halls!
