Welcome to Foothill, Bowles and Stern Halls!

Dear Unit 4 Resident,

Foothill, Bowles and Stern Halls are known collectively as Unit 4. On behalf of all of us at Unit 4, we would like to both congratulate you on your decision to attend one of the finest universities in the world and to welcome you to our residential communities. We hope that you have been enjoying your summer and are excited about living at Cal. To help facilitate your transition, this letter briefly describes how you can access information about your roommate(s), the check-in process, and how to find out more about life at Unit 4.

You will be able to check into your room on Wednesday, January 16, 2013. Please arrive between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., when our Residential Staff will be available to assist you. Street parking is limited, so be prepared to unload quickly and move your car. Staff will be located throughout Unit 4 to help your move run smoothly. Although we do not have movers to help you carry your possessions, we will have handcarts available to checkout for a short period of time. Please understand that the waiting time for these carts can be significant. You may want to bring other family members and a hand-truck if you have one, to assist you with your move. Generally, the more self-sufficient you are, the easier a time you will have with your move-in experience.

You will be asked to provide information about yourself and who to contact in case of emergency. This information is confidential and will only be used by your Resident Director and/or the Registrar’s Office in the event of an emergency. Also, in order to receive important reminders from Cal, you should now update your email address on the Bear Facts website at http://bearfacts.berkeley.edu.

The student and full-time staff members of Unit 4 work hard to create and maintain a safe, clean, and enjoyable community; promoting healthy academic, personal, and social growth throughout the year. We begin with events to orient you not only to your physical surroundings, and to the academic and social environment at Cal. These Welcome Activities have proven very helpful to students in years past.

If you have questions regarding your housing assignment, you can contact Cal Housing Assignments Office at (510) 642-4108. If you have questions about move-in day, please look through the move-in day website or call the Move-In-Day Help Line at (510) 642-3213. We hope that you enjoy the rest of your summer and have a safe trip to Cal.

Looking forward to the 2012-2013school year!
