HOUSING & DINING

Student Housing

Living on campus amid distinct personalities and unique backgrounds is a hallmark of the university experience.

It’s where new adventures are shared, lifelong relationships are formed, and big ideas are born. The Office of Student Housing opens their doors to over 2,000 USF students every year, providing an active, safe, and comfortable environment in the center of San Francisco.
