About

The Berkeley Student Cooperative, BSC, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit housing cooperative. The BSC provides affordable housing and board to students at UC Berkeley and other Bay Area colleges and universities.

The mission of the BSC is to provide a quality, low-cost, cooperative housing community to university students, thereby providing an educational opportunity for students who might not otherwise be able to afford a university education. Presently the BSC has over 1300 student members living in or eating at the seventeen houses and three apartment cooperatives around the UC Berkeley campus. Each house is democratically run, and we all contribute our labor to help keep housing costs affordable.

The Organization Advising & Student Involvement Services (OASIS)’s Cooperative Involvement and Leadership Development Coordinator works to expand OASIS’s support to the BSC community.
