RIDGE HOUSE

Ridge used to be a mansion and is now a co-op for 37 college students on the north side of Berkeley. It's part of the University Student's Cooperative Assosiation. Rent for the USCA's 20 houses is the best deal in Berkeley because residents do five hours of workshift per week in addition to paying rent. Rent includes food in an open kitchen and we cook our own dinners each night. Sweet!
