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 others.

For students who prefer to live off campus, a number of options exists. Here students can find housing listings from landlords or property managers who are especially amendable to student tenants.

For a larger, more random selection of Bay Area housing advertisements, visit the "apts/housing for rent" section on Craig's List or My Apartment Map, where you can narrow your search using specific criteria, such as location, minimum and maximum rent, and even whether pets are allowed.

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.
