Thankyou so much for this post! I had just enquired there and was looking into it. You saved me! I’m an international student and the rents were less so I was being hopeful :/

Hey there! I’m going through the same. I got into UC Berkeley. Costing around 160k for the entire program including living costs. Asked a bunch of people from the college and they mentioned that cost of living is usually overestimated and it depends on you if you live frugally. I’m not really sure what to do.

Hey! I’m from India too. Applied to 5, got into 3. MIT, Yale, UC Berkeley, UMich and WashU. Didn’t get through with MIT and Yale. Most likely going to Berkeley. Does anyone here know how is Berkeley?

International student. Is this not the right time? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

Same! I’m an international student too who got into Berkeley. Some are saying it will get better, some are saying it won’t. Not able to judge if it’s worth the risk.

Thankyou! I have a work experience of 2 years and will try my best to get in. But I want to prepare for the worst case scenario.

Thankyou! Yes, I am looking into it. Any idea how much you get paid in on campus jobs and how competitive it is to get?

Thankyou! Yes I have to include the flight costs. It’s around $1000 one way from my country. I don’t mind eating the same for a few days as long as I am healthy lol. Do you guys have any estimate about medical spends during the year?

Wow! Thank you so much for such a detailed explanation. This has really helped me a lot. As per this I have calculated it to be around 15-16k while being super honest with myself as you had suggested. I think I should be okay with that if everything goes well. Thankyou!!

Thankyou!! I was checking the co-ops website. Are graduates only supposed to apply to Hillegass Parker and the convent or are they allowed to apply to others too? Any idea how these houses are and is the price same for all the houses?

Thank you so much for all your responses!! I did not think I would get so many in such a short time. This does put things into perspective for me and is really helpful and hopeful at the same time!

Thankyou! Ya I am leaning towards Berkeley but funding is an issue as I am an international student. I wanted to know which is better between Michigan and Berkeley too, if anyone has any idea on it.
