University Village and Smyth-Fernwald are two Family Student Housing sites that are provided by UC for students to enjoy an organized family community. These are apartments located in Albany for University Village and Berkeley for Smyth-Fernwald which cater for married, single parent as well as domestic partner student families. Don't worry about the rental rate as they are very reasonable and all utilities are provided except telephone service. No pets allowed except for fish in aquarium and bird in cage. What? You have a car? No problem. A parking space is assigned for a family at the time you move in. Interested? The bad news is the waiting period can be as long as a year. So if you intend to study at UC, make an online application now.
