For students who prefer to live off campus, there are a number of options available. The Oakland campus is located in Rockridge, a residential neighborhood with many rental opportunities. The San Francisco campus, at the base of Potrero Hill, is near several desirable neighborhoods and is within easy commuting distance of many more.

As the Bay Area rental market is extremely competitive, students should plan ahead when looking for housing. We strongly recommend that you begin your housing search six to eight weeks before the semester begins.
