USF's Off-Campus Housing Service
The service provides listings for apartments and roommates, and resources for tenants' rights and other helpful strategies for living in San Francisco. The majority of listings are posted from late April to August.
Housing
Graduate students who move to San Francisco can choose to live on campus (university-sponsored housing) or off campus (private housing).
