The Berkeley Student Cooperative (BSC) (formerly known as University Students' Cooperative Association or the USCA) is a student housing cooperative serving primarily UC Berkeley students, but open to any full-time post-secondary student. The BSC houses and/or feeds over 1,300 students in 17 houses and three apartment buildings.[2][3] Food is provided to residents of the 17 houses, which also offer boarding meal plans to non-residents.[4] As part of their rental agreement, residents of the houses are required to perform workshifts, typically five hours per week.[5] The BSC is led by a board of directors which is primarily composed of and elected by student members.[6]
