African American Theme House
The African American Theme House, known as Afro House, was established in 1997 to provide a supportive, community-focused environment for Black students at UC Berkeley. Afro House celebrates Black culture, history, and community while fostering an inclusive living space centered on mutual support, learning, and cultural engagement.
For Summer 2026, the house will continue to operate as a Person of Color Graduate/Re-entry (PGR) Theme House. During this period, the house is open to graduate students and students aged 25 and older. Members should expect a shared bedroom at PGR.
Beginning in Fall 2026, the house will return to its designation as the African American Theme House (Afro House). Members should expect a shared bedroom at Afro.
During the Summer, the house has a capacity of 13 residents, with 4 double rooms and 5 single bedrooms. During the Fall, the house has a capacity of 20 residents, with 2 triple bedrooms, 6 double rooms and 2 single rooms.
Afro House is located in the South Berkeley foothills, about a five-minute walk from campus, and is close to Memorial Stadium, Telegraph Avenue, and the nearby fire trails, at 2347 Prospect St, Berkeley, CA 94720.
