Academic Year 2025–26 Projected Rates for Residence Hall Contracts
The rates on this page are based on anticipated housing occupancy levels for 2025–26. If occupancy levels change, room rates (as shown) and financial aid budgets may be affected.
If you receive financial aid, you’ll get a “Living in a Campus Residence Hall” budget in your financial aid package. You can find your financial aid package in your CalCentral account. (See “Cost of Attendance” for more information.)
What to Know
- All residence hall contracts include a $6,555 Blue & Gold Meal Plan. (For upgrade options on meal plans, see “Berkeley Dining On-Campus Meal Plans.”)
- Students may opt to pay by installment plan (5 fall and 5 spring installments).
- Spring-only contract rates are half of the full-year rates (5 installments instead of 10).
Additional Fees
The following fees will appear as separate line items on student CalCentral accounts. Fees are applicable to all students in residence halls, unless otherwise stated.
Equipment Fee
- $110 billed as “Equipment Fee” for Academic Year 2025-2026.
- This fee is for a MicroChill refrigerator and microwave combination unit. The equipment is mandatory; students cannot opt-out.
- This fee is billed in addition to the stated contract costs and is split among residents in a room.
- Blackwell Hall residents will not pay the added fee, as the cost for these appliances is already incorporated into the Blackwell Hall contract costs.
Student Experience Fee
- $85 billed as a “Student Experience Fee” for full academic year housing agreements for Academic Year 2025-2026.
- $43 billed as “Student Experience Fee” for Spring only housing agreements for Spring 2026.
- The Student Experience Fee applies to all residents and contributes to enhanced programming and activities designed to foster a vibrant living and learning community. This fee is charged in addition to the contract costs.
GBO Housing Fee
