How Is This Rating Determined?

6/5/25

Probably the best off campus housing choice in comparison to the dorms!

I did extensive research on more cost effective, spacious and affordable options in comparison to on-campus housing without a meal plan.

Telegraph Commons checked all the boxes, especially with their local management headquarters located in Berkeley with a 24/7 Emergency line (as a parent, I did check this before writing this).
Property was clean, leasing person/ agent was kind and empathetic, on-site managers (also called students were GREAT and mature and responsive).

My kid could not be... happier and as a parent, more relieved.
