Housing
Please note due to the very high demand for housing, UC Berkeley and the CITRIS staff cannot assist with housing requests. Housing on campus housing is extremely limited, so most people will find an apartment or house off campus to share with others. You may find several housing tips and resources here. https://internationaloffice.berkeley.edu/living/housing Do you acknowledge that you are responsible for your accommodations during hosting?
If accepted to be hosted at CITRIS, the fee is $3,600 USD per semester or $1,200 USD per month. Will you be paying the fees or will funds come from your institution?
