Currently, CZ is a safe space for bad babes, bros and queers of all colors to come together and bring the best out of each other for our communities. Casa Zimbabwe is dedicated to being affordable housing for UC Berkeley Students.

The Convent
The Convent is in fact a former convent, but the studious, cloistered nuns have long since been replaced by studious, cloistered graduate and re-entry students. The almost deity-like powers of maturity possessed by these wise scholars allow them to maintain a house that is clean, orderly, environmentally friendly, and fairly quiet. The well-roundedness of Convent residents is ensured by a habit of games of ping-pong, pool in the spacious chapel-cum-game room, as well as many insightful cross-disciplinary discussions of academic… Read More

Northside
Northside Co-op is located in two adjacent buildings on Le Conte near Kidd, Euclid, Stebbins, and Hoyt co-ops. It is what might be called the final resting place of all good co-opers (hardwood floors, lots of light through multi-paned, old-fashioned windows).
