Limited On-Campus Housing: SFCM offers a small number of residence hall rooms for undergraduate students. These options provide convenience and a sense of community, but availability is limited.
Focus on Off-Campus Housing: Most SFCM students live in off-campus apartments or houses near the campus or in surrounding San Francisco neighborhoods. This allows for greater independence and flexibility in choosing living arrangements, although affordability can be a factor.
