<p>There are only freshmen in the limited dorms. Unfortunately SF is now very expensive due to the tech people there. Sometimes people in the area rent rooms in there houses to students. They even have 'mother in law aparements, which have their own entrance. That would be nice. Also there is a large apartment complex next door where students share apts. There is a Muni Metro station right outside the college so you can get to the school on public transportation if you find something on that line, it is the M line if I recall. Look it up and print out a Metro Map so you will know. </p>
<p>Many apartments are listed on craigslist, but you have to sort through scammers sometimes. Never send money to anyone you didn’t meet in person and see the place is real. My daughter sublet an apartment there not too long ago from craigslist. She contacted them and talked via skype from out of town and they came to an agreement. Then she went to see the place and meet the other roommate in the place and gave the person the money and got the key. Look under sublets on craigslist, maybe you can get something temporary first so you can figure out where you want to live. But I would also look for rooms for rent on craigslist in the neighborhood near the school or on the Metro line. It is going to be expensive unless you really put some work in.</p>
<p>But the FB group sounds best and to find a student housing group or listserv.</p>
