Haas School of Business Accommodation

Graduate students at Haas have several housing options: university-owned and operated housing, group housing alternatives, and off-campus housing. Those seeking off-campus housing can refer to the Cal Rentals website managed by UC Berkeley. On-campus accommodations range from shared apartments to private studios, with monthly rent between $1,425 and $1,685 (₹1.13 lakhs to ₹1.34 lakhs).

However, UC Berkeley has limited graduate housing options, leading most grad students to live in off-campus rentals in Berkeley or nearby communities. The current average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Berkeley, CA, is around $2,250 (₹1.79 lakhs).
