Pacific School of Religion

Our housing options help long-distance commuter students to enjoy community life between classes, and enable resident students to feel truly at home on campus. We usually can secure campus housing for students who apply by February 1 for fall semester admission.

Commuters who live and work some distance from Berkeley often need a place to stay overnight. We reserve several dormitory rooms for commuters who stay here one or two nights a week. Some students are both commuters and residents: they maintain households as far away as Seattle or Los Angeles while living on campus during the week.

Most resident single students live in our dormitories. Benton Hall, built in 1926, has 22 large single rooms with a shared bath on each floor. Anderson Hall, built in 1969, has 14 two- and three-bedroom suites, each with a common living room and bathroom, and 8 one-bedroom apartments. Both facilities have group kitchens. Students may stay in their rooms year-round as long as they are enrolled full-time for the following semester.

Families with children, couples, and some singles live in studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments adjacent to campus. The monthly rate for these apartments is one-half to one-third the rent typically charged for equivalent apartments on the market. We welcome gay and lesbian students, their partners, and children in family housing.
