UC Berkeley, unlike other universities in the top portion of US News’s list, ONLY guarantees housing for a student’s first year on campus: ”All incoming first-year students are guaranteed a housing offer for one year, provided they meet all deadlines and select “any room size, any location” as one of their housing preferences.”
