I am moving to Mills from out of the area. What housing options are available for graduate students at Mills?
Mills offers a variety of housing options for graduate students to live on our beautiful residential campus. Graduate women have the option of residing in one of our historic Mediterranean-style residence halls that accept graduate students. Men and women can enjoy our new Courtyard Townhouses which overlook the Bay Area. We also offer family housing and some specialty housing choices. When you apply to Mills, please indicate your interest in on-campus housing, and you will be sent a separate housing application. Many students moving from out of the area also choose to live off campus. Some popular neighborhoods include those around Lake Merritt, Piedmont Avenue, and Rockridge. Craigslist is a good reference to start looking for local housing. A car is definitely useful in the East Bay, but many of our students do not drive and use public transit instead. There is a campus shuttle which goes to the Rockridge BART station on its way to UC Berkeley. There is also an AC Transit bus stop r
