Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I chose to live off-campus instead of on- campus as I wanted to experience the city life more and the travel to the uni. The housing market in San Francisco is one of the most expensive ones in the USA. Living Downtown or at Northbeach will be more of a financial burden compared to living in the Richmond or Sunset district (where I was situated). Housing can be found through www.craigslist.org

Why?
On-campus housing at SFSU is expensive. In addition, some rooms are really old and small. They only have dormitories, so you cannot get a private room for you alone, or for you and your family.

Housing is a problem in the Bay Area. There simply aren't enough apartments available, so it's hard to find a place to live and rents are also high. The situation is improving, though, and it is possible that the rents will continue going down as they have done since fall 2001. Although there were problems in finding housing, I believe it's still worth to find off-campus housing because SFSU's apartments and dorms are not that good. Fortunately, there are several apartment complexes near the university, and many students live in their apartments.
