• University Village in Albany and Smyth Fernwald in Berkeley
These are two apartment complexes that have been set aside for married students and students with custody of minor children. University Village is a 56-acre complex with close to 1,000 apartments. Smyth Fernwald houses 74 families near the southeast side of campus. Please apply early through the Apartments Assignment Office (see above) for this popular housing, as rents in family student housing are below market rate and there are usually long wait lists.
Please be advised that due to construction, spaces for new residents in family housing will be very limited starting in 2004. Applicants are encouraged to consult with a Cal Rentals counselor to discuss alternatives.
