Berkeley Student Cooperative

The mission of the Berkeley Student Cooperative is to provide a quality, low-cost, cooperative housing community to university students, thereby providing an educational opportunity for students who might not otherwise be able to afford a university education. They are a 501c3 nonprofit housing cooperative and provide affordable housing and board to students at UC Berkeley and other Bay Area colleges and universities. Presently, the BSC has over 1300 student members living in or eating at their seventeen houses and three apartment cooperatives around the UC Berkeley campus. Each house is democratically run, and all residents contribute to help keep their housing costs affordable.
