Couldn't tell you for sure, although obviously International students are predominant. Perhaps the I-House website has data on this kind of thing?poe wrote:Did you get any sense for how many of the residents there are non-international?SaintFond wrote:I used to work there in dining services when I was at Berkeley for UG.poe wrote:Anyone else put in an application for International House? It really seems like the most convenient option - right next to the law school, has its own library, meal plan included, etc. And it could be nice to be part of a community that isn't 100% law students, lol.
My only concern is that I'll be out-of-place as a non-international student.
I hear the rooms aren't anything special, but you're right, it's convenient. Plus you get to meet and fraternize with a lot of nice people and they have activities and themed dinners all the time.
I'd say it's worth it if you can afford it.
Honestly, if you're considering the I-House, I wouldn't let the % of non International house members be a factor. The only real issues with the I-house are that it's expensive and the rooms aren't necessarily the best. Some people have complained about the food there too before, but I personally thought it was good.
I-House has a good location. It's right across from the law school and situated among a bunch of frat/sorority houses and co-ops and all that. It also has its own cafe attached to it which serves snacks, sandwiches and alcohol. Also right nearby the field/arena if you're interested in sports games and all that jazz.
Very pretty (and typically rich) international women. Bourgeois beauties. My coworker and I would ogle them through the tray return window. Everyone seemed really friendly too.
